Northern Ireland's Ashers Baking Company Will Appeal Gay Marriage Cake Discrimination Verdict
Northern Ireland's Ashers Baking Company Will Appeal Gay Marriage Cake Discrimination Verdict
LONDON (AP) — The owners of a Northern Ireland bakery that refused to bake a cake supporting gay marriage say they will appeal their conviction for discrimination.
The Christian owners of Ashers Baking Company were convicted last week after refusing an order from gay rights activist Gareth Lee. He asked for a cake featuring Sesame Street characters Bert and Ernie and the words “Support Gay Marriage.” Belfast judge Isobel Brownlie ruled that the bakery had discriminated against Lee on grounds of sexual orientation and political beliefs and ordered it to pay 500 pounds ($765) in damages.
Members the McArthur family, the bakery’s owners, said Thursday they would appeal. They said “we have done nothing wrong as we have discriminated against no individual but rather acted according to what the Bible teaches regarding marriage.”

'Hocus Pocus' Stage Show Is Going To Put A Spell On You At Disney World
'Hocus Pocus' Stage Show Is Going To Put A Spell On You At Disney World
After 22 years, “Hocus Pocus” is getting resurrected and this time around a virgin didn’t even have to light the black flame candle to bring the Sanderson sisters back.
On Thursday, Walt Disney Parks announced that Winifred, Mary and Sarah Sanderson will return to the world of the living in the “Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular.” The live stage show will run during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party held on select nights at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom Park in Orlando, Florida from Sept. 15 to Nov. 1.
And because Disney is suddenly bringing “Hocus Pocus” to the stage, naturally it makes us wonder if there is a sequel in store for the beloved 1993 film, which starred Bette Middler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy as the Sanderson sisters.
While Disney hasn’t said anything about a sequel, during a Reddit AMA last year, Middler revealed she was totally down reprise her role as Winifred and cast another spell on audiences.
“You have to go to send in your cards to the Walt Disney company,” she said. “The ball’s in their court.”
