In 2014, a Christian bakery was charged with discrimination after declining to make a cake supporting gay marriage.
In 2015, the court found them guilty and fined them for causing “injury to feelings.” The bakery owners, Daniel and Amy McArthur, a husband and wife team, appealed.
The U.K. Supreme Court has scheduled a hearing for October 2017 to consider taking up the case.
However, there is more to the story. In 2015, the company posted profits of £1.3 million. In 2016, their profits rose to £1.5 million.
- The rise in U.S. dollars is approximately $220,000.
- The company owes approximately $163,000 in legal fees.

Causing “injury to feelings” is a criminal offense? Sheesh! Boo piddly puddly hoo, po’ babies!
If I could sue everyone who ever hurt my precious feewings, or tried to, I’d be neck-deep in legal battles – mostly against family members.
Even better, can I sue all the folks responsible for the flood of sex-confused commercials and same-sex smooching in tv shows? Don’t my big old white male feelings count? Hmmmm?
