former Star Trek actor Sir In June, the Patrick Stewart, stood by his defence of Ashers Baking Company in the face of criticism from LGBT supporters.
In a post online, the Shakespearean actor stressed that his support for the McArthur family’s stand was based on the ‘fundamental right’ of free speech. Responding to accusations of being ‘anti-equality’, he wrote: ‘This particular matter was not about discrimination, but rather personal freedoms and what constitutes them, including the freedom to object.’
