A bakery is facing legal action for refusing to make a Bert and Ernie campaign cake for gay marriage
A Newtownabbey based Christian bakery is facing legal action from the Equality Commission for refusing to make a cake with Sesame Street characters Bert and Ernie, arm-in-arm, and the caption - 'support gay marriage'.
The bakery believe producing the cake would amount to endorsing the campaign for gay marriage, and go against their religious convictions.

Row over Bobby Sands bursaries for schoolchildren. Sinn Fein is backing the scheme. Unionists are condemning it.
A row is raging over Bobby Sands bursaries for school children.
Sinn Fein is involved in the initiative in the name of the hunger striker who starved himself to death in 1981.
The bursaries are aimed at encouraging the learning and speaking of Irish by school pupils.
But they have been condemned by unionist politicians, including DUP Minister Nelson McCausland.
And council services disrupted by strike action, including bins and leisure centres. What's the strike about? Is it justified?
