The European Court of Human Rights has dismissed a legal challenge in a long-running dispute known as the "gay cake" case, ruling the action inadmissible.

The ECHR is the latest court to have its say in the long-running controversy. It all started in , when a bakery in Northern Ireland refused to make a cake with a slogan supporting same-sex marriage. Here's a look at how the case reached Strasbourg:. Ashers Baking Company was founded in Newtownabbey in The bakery came to wider prominence in July when it emerged that it had declined an order in its Belfast branch from gay rights activist Gareth Lee.

He had wanted them to make a cake that included a slogan that said "support gay marriage" along with a picture of Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street, and the logo of the Queerspace organisation. At the time, same-sex marriage was still illegal in Northern Ireland, but the law has since changed and same-sex weddings have been taking place since February Staff at the bakery passed the order to its head office, which considered it to be "at odds" with their beliefs.

Councillor Andrew Muir cuts the replacement cake that was made by another bakery. The customer who placed the order with Ashers complained to Northern Ireland's Equality Commission, and the watchdog took up the case, warning the company it had allegedly discriminated against the man on the grounds of his sexual orientation.

The commission supported Mr Lee in taking his legal case alleging discrimination. However, Ashers said it was taking a stand on the grounds of religious freedom. The bakery's stance was backed by the Christian Institute, which provided legal assistance. This clause would allow businesses to refuse to provide some services if they clashed with their strongly-held religious convictions.

Mr Givan said: "Christians do not feel there is space being made for their religious beliefs. Thousands of people attended a rally in protest over the DUP's conscience clause bill. Rival demonstrations were held in support of both sides in the case. A demonstration in support of the bakery's stance was staged at Belfast's Waterfront Hall. Two days before the court hearing in Belfast in , more than 2, people gathered at the city's Waterfront Hall venue to show their support for Ashers.

Hundreds more supporters stood outside the venue and sang hymns.

Gareth Lee, who placed the cake order with Ashers, said the refusal made him feel "unworthy". The court case in Belfast ran for three days in March During the hearings, a lawyer for the bakery argued the issue was "the cake, not the customer". One of the bakers, Karen McArthur, said she did not know Mr Lee was gay and it would not have mattered as they would not have been prepared to make a cake with a pro-same-sex marriage slogan for anyone.

However, Mr Lee said he felt he was discriminated against. He said that after ordering the cake and paying for it, only to be told two days later that his order had been rejected: "It made me feel unworthy, a lesser person. While the debate leading up to the hearing had been often heated, the BBC's Mark Simpson found that in the courtroom it was a different story, and there was "no heckling, shouting or jeering".

Daniel McArthur, manager of Ashers Bakery, said they were "extremely disappointed with the judgment". The judge found in favour of Mr Lee , external , saying that as a business, Ashers was not exempt from discrimination law. District Judge Isobel Brownlie said Ashers was "conducting a business for profit" and it was not a religious group.

The firm was found to have discriminated against Mr Lee on the grounds of sexual orientation as well as his political beliefs. The judge said she accepted Ashers had "genuine and deeply held" religious views, but said the business was not above the law.
