Do unto others as you would have them do unto you...

The Christian lobbying group that bankrolled the bakers in the ‘gay cake’ row has been denied service by a photography business, after arguing for the right of private companies to deny service.

The Christian Institute, a lobbying group that has long opposed LGBT+ equality, had booked a photographer through website Perfocal to cover Wednesday’s Supreme Court ruling, placing a £267 order for a package to provide photography services outside the hearing.


Perfocal says it was not clear what the client was when it took the booking. After the details of the case emerged on the day, however, the company opted to refund the Christian Institute and not provide the photos.

The Christian Institute funded Northern Ireland’s Ashers Baking Company’s legal battle to appeal a conviction for discrimination after the bakery refused to bake a cake bearing the slogan ‘Support Gay Marriage’ for a gay customer, citing religious beliefs.

The UK’s Supreme Court sided with Ashers on Wednesday, finding that its actions did not constitute homophobic discrimination, and cited the bakery’s right to “freedom of thought, conscience and religion.”

It has now emerged that the Christian Institute is facing refusal of service itself, while going to court to advocate for the right to refuse service.
