Northern Ireland: Bakers have no right to free speech

In a way this is good news because it will help advance our cause for Religious Freedom.
Gay Marriage will still remain illegal in Northern Ireland regardless of this ruling so the activists can suck on it.

Doubtful.  Even if the current court case fails,  I don't think it'll be that long before same-sex marriages in Northern Ireland are recognized as marriages instead of as civil partnerships.  I think it's only because, like many unrelated issues, SSM has gotten caught up in Unionist/Nationalist politics that it hasn't happened yet.  It's only a matter of time before same-sex marriages are treated equally under the law in Northern Ireland, as they ought to be.

Doubt it. DUP didn't went over legalisation of homosexuality yet.

There were a few Unionists who voted in favor of recognition and no non-Unionists who voted against it.  It will have to wait until at least the next Northern Ireland Assembly is elected next year and maybe until after the 2021 elections , but I think that as younger Unionists take office, the number of Unionist MLAs supporting full recognition of SSM will only increase.  As it was, the 2013 vote was defeated by only a plurality of the Assembly and not a majority. It would take only a net change of 6 votes from nay to yea (6 full changes, 12 half changes of nay to not voting or not voting to yea, or some combination thereof) to pass recognition. 2016 would be optimistic but not impossible. 2021 looks almost certain.

Doesn't NI require a double majority to pass bills (a majority of Catholic and a majority of Protestant MLAs?)
