In May 2014, Mr Lee ordered a cake from a bakery company in Northern Ireland. He asked for the cake to be decorated with the wording “Support for Gay Marriage”.  Initially Mr Lee’s request was accepted by the bakery, but a few days later Mr lee was told that the order could not be fulfilled as the bakery was a Christian business.  Mr Lee was not happy and decided to sue the bakery for discrimination on grounds of his sexual orientation and political opinion.
