Halt action being taken against Asher's Bakery for refusing to produce a campaign cake that supported gay marriage.

The Issue

The law needs to reasonably accommodate family-run businesses with firmly held beliefs to carry out their business, without fear of reprisal, when they take a stand against what they believe to be unbiblical and that people do not lose their religious freedom just because they run a business.  This is a test case for the Equality Commission and if it isn't won it will have devastatiing repercussions for those of the Christian faith who follow Jesus Christ and His teachings.
