UK: Religious Rights Trump Gay Rights

[WillParkinson]

(London) An employment tribunal has ruled that an Islington city clerk in North London was the victim on job discrimination when she was told she could be fired for refusing to perform civil partnerships for gay couples.

Lillian Ladele, 47, filed the discrimination case alleging she had been harassed and threatened with dismissal when she said her Christian belief opposed same-sex unions.

" placed a greater value on the rights of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual community than it placed on the rights of Ms Ladele as one holding an orthodox Christian belief," the tribunal said in a unanimous ruling.

1. Not, Just Religious Rights...

CHRISTIAN rights. Too bad that someone picked on the poor little Christian. They've persecuted gays and lesbians and millions of others for the past couple of millenia. But since they are a majority in UK, I m not too surprised at the decision. Digusted and angered, yes--but definitely not surprised.
