Across the big pond in the U.K., upset has occured with the gay community. A court ruled in favour of Lillian Ladele, who claimed that she was discriminated against because of her religion when she refused to conduct civil partnership ceremonies while employed by Islington council.Peter Tatchell, the gay rights and human rights campaigner, said that the ruling in favour of Lillian Ladele is "a dangerous subversion of the democratic principle that everyone should have equal rights and responsibilities under the law."
"The tribunal has ruled that people of faith are above the law," said Mr Tatchell.
"They can plead conscientious objection and be exempt from the laws that apply to everyone else.
"If this judgment stands, it will pave the way for religious people to have the legal entitlement to discriminate on conscientious grounds against people of other faiths, unmarried parents and many others who they condemn as immoral." [SOURCE]
Wow, this is insane.. What Tatchell is saying is true. He goes on talking about how Firemen, cops and other public services can soon deny help to those gays in need if their religious rights are againt homosexuals. CRAZY STUFF PEOPLE!!
