The European Court of Human Rights rejected a case brought over a UK bakery's refusal to bake a gay wedding cake.
PARIS - The European Court of Human Rights rejected a case brought over a UK bakery's refusal to bake a gay wedding cake, saying British legal options had to be exhausted before it would get involved.
The Ashers Baking Company, which takes its name from an Old Testament figure, took the order but then declined to meet the special requests, apologised and refunded Lee's money. That decision was upheld by an appeals court, but then overturned by the UK's Supreme Court, which said that the bakery owners had not refused to serve Lee because he was gay, but because they objected to promoting a message that they profoundly disagreed with.
