Just a little unfinished business https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-britain-nireland-discrimination/belfast-bakery-did-not-discriminate-in-gay-cake-case-uk-court-rules-idUKKCN1MK10O A Northern Irish bakery’s refusal to bake a cake iced with a pro-gay slogan on account of its owners’ Christian beliefs was not discriminatory, Britain’s Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday. Just to clarify, I am largely (although not actively) anti religion - best description I've ever heard of religion is that its the real original sin, I think the DUP is a little qualified stain on an already heavily stained political spectrum, and am certainly NOT anti LGBT I simply believe that NO single interest group should gain preferential rights in law over any let alone all other. Wonder if this will be deleted?

Isnt that the plot of The Wizard of Oz?

Hi Folks, Briefly....started work for a compnay on 11th Oct 2011 and went on sick with Depression on 28th Oct. Reason is that I am a gay man and I received constant comments and 3 members of staff bullying and harassing me on a daily basis about my sexuality "wife" and my civil partnership. Hand drawn pictures (pornographic) of men. I have submitted by grievance and am awaiting a meeting probably next week. I am only getting SSP and am at a financial loss of about £1,200 per month. They are a SME company with about 30 employees and I feel at present I could not go back. My doctor is comitted to supporting me and as I am depressed he will keep signing me off till I am fit. At the meeting do I suggest a Compromise Agreement ? I know I can take a Tribunal claim but don't feel I could afford this. Your views would be helpful.

Hi..I wonder if anyone can give me some advice. I am a single gay male who has been claiming Working Tax Credits since 2009.Currently and throughout the period,I am in shared accommodation.When my claim was first awarded,I was living in a shared house with 5 others.This had to close down and as I could not afford my own place it was suggested that I could maybe flat share with someone and share bills.Several of us looked into it and I decided to move into the cheapest form of accommodation available,a 1 bedroom place(2 beds are way out of my budget) that could be used as two bedsits.ie the living area now becomes a bedroom.Many people I know are doing this as it is cheaper than a larger house share which also asks for a share of bills. I informed the TC office that I had moved(which I have always done)and all was fine until last week I received a letter from the Tax Compliance Office asking for details of my Self-Employment.I sent these off and got a letter back stating they were satisfied with the documents etc which were returned.Now I have recieved another letter saying that I will need to phone them to discuss 'Household,work and income details'.As I have already given the work and income details this must refer to 'household'. As far as I am concerned my circumstances have not changed.I still have my own room,am single and in a flat-share as opposed to a house share.The other occupier is a woman(who was also in the house share) so my concern is that they may suggest we are a 'couple' of some sort even though we have completely seperate lives having only the share of bills/rent in common. I read somewhere that you should not speak to these people before seeking legal advice.Before I do-even though I dont feel I have anything to hide,has anyone any advice?I may be worrying for nothing but Im concerned.
