An LGBT campaigner who challenged a bakery of their refusal to create a “support gay marriage” cake has lost his appeal at court.
The case against Ashers Bakery was thrown out by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) based in France, after a legal dispute which has lasted over six years.
The court ruled against the gay rights activist Gareth Lee, describing his application as “inadmissible”, a statement released this morning said.
Additionally, it pointed to the fact that Mr Lee didn’t “exhaust domestic remedies” in his case. In 2018, the UK Supreme Court ruled that Mr Lee was not discriminated against when Ashers bakery in Belfast refused to make him a cake with the slogan supporting gay marriage.
