Apparently I've got the story a bit wrong, that'll teach me to post before doing a bit of research! It seems the cake was required for an International Gay Rights Day. Anyway, regardless of whether the cake was a wedding cake, as reported by the BBC, or was required for a Gay Rights Day, it seems the central question remains the same, should civil rights or religious rights have preference?

I've just seen the BBC news and an item about a wedding cake that an evangelical couple in Belfast refused to make for a gay couple. Of course, there is no legal gay marriage in Northern Ireland, but it seems to me that this judgement does none the less beg the question, do religious rights trump civil rights, or vice versa?
