Equality group ‘vindicated’ but owner says: We haven’t done anything wrong

An equality body that supported a gay man in his legal battle against Ashers Bakery says it has been vindicated.

The chief commissioner of the Equality Commission, Michael Wardlow, claimed the landmark victory at a court in the North was clear and robust.

The Christian owners of the bakery were found to have discriminated against a gay man when they refused to make a cake carrying a slogan that promoted same-sex marriage.
