Pleased that equality laws have been upheld

The Workers Party has welcomed today’s court decision in the Ashers Bakery case.

This is a clear message that religious belief does not provide a defence to a claim for discrimination.

As a Party committed to a secular society we are pleased that equality laws have been upheld and that the decision of the Equality Commission to pursue this case, in the face of a concerted campaign against it, has been justified and vindicated
