It was a story that was making the national news yesterday, Ashers, a Christian-run bakery that refused a customer's request to make a cake with a slogan supporting gay marriage. The company declined an order from a gay rights activist, asking for cake featuring the Sesame Street puppets, Bert and Ernie. They are now facing legal action from the Equality Commission.

After the show yesterday we were contacted by Angela McArthur, her uncle owns Ashers Bakery.
