dinachi: Why are they discriminating against him because of his beliefs? This just shows that the homosexuals are the bigots here. They adopt an attitude of if you don't agree with us we make your life miserable. But when they come to undefeated territory like Nigeria, they talk about hate and discrimination. Right now in their conquered territory, they discriminate against people because of their own beliefs. HYPOCRITES!

I don't think d baker is wrong for refusing to offer his service at his own perception of what is wrong, in as much as it is not an obligation dat compulsorily U̶̲̥̅̊ must answer all customers...

Seun: There was a time when living as a black American was very inconvenient because most places of business would refuse to serve black people. Can you imagine going to a restaurant with your white friends only to be told that they "don't serve your type here?" Or a petrol station? Or to not be allowed to attend a good school even though your academics are strong? That's what America was like before the laws that convicted this man were created. It does a lot of damage to members of minority groups if people are allowed to refuse to do business with "their type".

I don't seem to drive home your point- I struggled to get it but can't
Can you tell me which side of the coin are you in? The Baker or the State?

Thanks so much for pointing that out b4 the squad decends with their holier than thou comments.
I almost cried d day I went to a club with my white friends in Johannesburg only to be told by the bouncers'sorry we don't allow nigerians and besides u don't look gay enuf' now how does that sound.I cudnt do anything cos I was a foreigner and to think that can happen in Africa and in a gay club makes the whole thing somehow unbearable.trust me,d next day I went to the management of d club and raised some dust.
Nobody should be discriminated against based on skin color,nationality or even sexual orientation cos when u got the license to operate the business ,u uphold to serve the public not to prejudice on some sections.

U guys are just joining the white folk's band wagon with the way u are reasoning, its a shame that they think for u and u don't even know it. The white folks have hijacked the black ppl's struggle, equate it with gay struggles and u sank it in like u are not even thinking. Is it not ridiculous that every time they want to defend gay ppl they start to talk about blackness as if the black struggle has the same moral, historical, and political background as gay struggles.

I am not saying u shouldn't defend gay interests if u want but try to think deeper than what the white folks subliminally filter through ur consciousness. No one can equate my race, my skin color, my struggle to gayness, stop this BS. I don't need to convince anyone that I am black, u will see it. My race is not an orientation, its a race unquestionably who I am. Not the same thing with gays or is it?

And to u who said u were not allowed into a gay club, whats ur business in a gay club if u are not gay, did u not know it was a gay club? For ur information, I used to attend parties that are strictly for black guys and white girls, would a white guy scream discrimination if he was bounced at the club gate? Its common sense here. And if they said they don't allow Nigerians, there's probably was a case on it, have u found out?

These gays are the most prejudiced humans on earth.So just because someone doesn't like a d@*k in their mouth they are homophobic?We all have a right to refuse your nasty lifestyle just thesame way you feel you have a right to practice it.That's why I feel no sympathy for these people.As for that confused man juxtaposing race and fetish practices,I think you need help.You can't force me to bake a cake for you if my business is founded on religious beliefs.That's very wrong!!Go tell an arab man this crap and watch him give you hell.Don't force this crap onn africans.You want to be a butt plug,travel abroad.

To say the truth, i think dey're doing the same thing they're accusing the poor baker of doing!

If he doesn't bliv in baking for poor pple,it's his right to bliv anything he blivs in and he shouldn't be queried for that! It wld be a different case if he started hurting these people in one way or the other but politely declining to bake their cake is not something anybody should blame him for. My one cents!

You don't choose to ba black or not, while it's your choice to be Gay. They are just not the same.

Being gay is a crime against humanity, I make bold to say that.

I don't want to hear that rubbish about it been genetical. Armed robbers can also claim the crime is in their genes.

It is simple, Those who believe in the Bible should try as much to tell those who don't by showing good example to them, tell them cos they don't know- and if they refused to believe, then you simple dust off your shoes and move on to another..not everyone will make it to heaven anyway- It is simple as ABC.....

Ok Let's put things into perspective. In Canada for example, if u want to get a job or let's say rent a house, u'd see the landlords openly stating, "we rent our house only to Filipinos, Indians" or "only women are considered". But u don't see Nigerian or American shouting discrimination cos a landlord won't rent his house to him based on his Nationality. U go elsewhere and move on, its part of life, u can't cry over every little thing, most especially when u have options. But I bet the whole of Canada would go ablaze if a landlord dared openly advertise a house or a room and stating that only straight ppl are allowed.

It is just total BS that every little thing that happens to gay ppl becomes a big issue. As if they are special kind of human being, they even get more protection than physically handicapped ppl, why? A guy didn't bake cake for u, go elsewhere. They compare them to black ppl and yet they don't give half the protection to black ppl who are actually suffering real time discrimination. Unfortunately, the blacks themselves are falling for it.

In our eyes we are seeing gays having more right than blacks yet the black ppl whose pain the agenda used as a tool to liberate the gay ppl are still on the same spot. Aint we thinking? majority of out of the closet gays are white, of course their interest is more important than the black race.

This type of discriminatory "beliefs" should not be tolerated. And frankly, there's nothing in the bible that says you shouldn't bake cakes for gays. Jesus allowed a prostitute to anoint him with oil, and he broke bread with a corrupt tax collector. How can baking cakes for gays be a sin? If Jesus was a baker and not a carpenter, I think he would have baked delicious cakes for gay people and used the opportunity to preach to them.

I don't believe that such an offense should attract jail term; it may be more appropriate to take away his business license for a few months.
You must b high on some weeds. Nigeria does nt support gay, take or leave it. Are u a learner?

I agree with the State. Once the baker opened his door to the public....then he can't pick and choose who to bake for and who not to bake for... that right has automatically been given up. Is this not the same as Blacks not being allowed in a restaurant because the owner doesn't like Blacks? ...or a taxi driver not picking up Blacks? ....or someone not given a job because of his religion...or tribe? Is this not the type of thing Mandela fought against...discrimination? ...or are we now burying Mandela as well as all that he stood for? I mourn for Mandela and now I have to mourn for the blind among us.
