You're absolutely right Lemon, his cake was made and iced by his partner's mother, and very nice it was too. If course, the event was purely civil, it didn't take place in a religious establishment of any kind. In fact, my son wanted one of the pieces of music to be Ave Maria, but it wasn't allowed, no religious music of any kind. Which was sad, but he got over it! His son now attends a religious school, it's the nearest school to them. I worried about discrimination and/or attacks as he lived in London, and there are attacks on gay people every year in London, some people are murdered. But my husband says that in his line of work, he's a barrister in a top set of chambers, he will not meet discrimination amongst the people he works with, and he hasn't, though he doesn't advertise that he is gay to solicitors or clients when he is working. He doesn't look or appear gay in any way ie he is not remotely camp, so he doesn't attract attention, nor does his partner. But like many things in life, unless you experience the reality of the worry of discrimination or even attacks, then it is difficult to comprehend. Thankfully gay discrimination is far less common these days, but it still exists.
