'Gay cake' bakery begins appeal

A baking firm has begun its appeal against a ruling that it breached discrimination laws by refusing to sell a customer a cake iced with a slogan in support of same-sex marriage.

Gay rights and equality campaigner Peter Tatchell had initially condemned the bakery - but has changed his mind. He now says it is also important to defend freedom of expression.
The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Chris Buckler reports from Belfast.
