Coleen Noleen is a regular on Loose Women (image of ITV).
She said: “At the end of the day, if you went in there and two days later they said ‘we don’t want to make your cakes because of our beliefs,’ you’d just never go back to that shop and you’d probably say to all your gay friends, ‘don’t go there, they’re anti-gay,’ and boycott it.
“What about if somebody walked in and said I want a cake and I want the whole Islamic State on it and how I support it and how I support them killing our people. Because it’s a business do they have to make it? And if they turn around and say they’re not making it, we’d applaud it.”
After the show, a number of viewers took to Twitter to criticise Coleen. Neither she nor the producers of Loose Women have commented on the matter.
I just got a reminder why I don't watch #loosewomen comparing gay rights to a terrorist organisation! #coleennolan

Can someone explain to #coleennolan that being gay isn't a choice but being in a terrorist organisation or a supporter of one is a choice. — Colm McAfee (@mcafee77) May 19, 2015
@NolanColeen Your comment comparing supporting gay rights with ISIS is so offensive, I feel you should issue a public apology.
