Homosexual Rights Trump Religious Rights

I know this is from the United Kingdom, but still….

In a landmark judgment, which will have a serious impact on the future of fostering and adoption in the UK, the High Court has suggested that Christians with traditional views on sexual ethics are unsuitable as foster carers, and that homosexual ‘rights’ trump freedom of conscience in the UK. The Judges stated that Christian beliefs on sexual ethics may be ‘inimical’ to children, and they implicitly upheld an Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) submission that children risk being ‘infected’ by Christian moral beliefs.

Today’s ruling relates to the dispute between married couple Eunice and Owen Johns and Derby City Council. The Johns applied to the Council in 2007 to foster a child but the Council blocked their application because they objected that the Johns were not willing to promote the practise of homosexuality to a young child. In November 2010 both parties jointly asked the Court to rule on whether the Johns were able to foster children, or whether they could be excluded from doing so under equality law because of their Christian beliefs.

Today (28th February) that judgment has been released. The judges declined to make the statement that the Johns, wanting to re-establish their fostering application, had sought. Instead, the judgment strongly affirms homosexual rights over freedom of conscience and leaves the Johns currently unable to foster a child as desired, despite their proven track record as foster parents. There now appears to be nothing to stop the increasing bar on Christians who wish to adopt or foster children but who are not willing to compromise their beliefs by promoting the practise of homosexuality to small children.

  1. I would like to think your source for this were the satire/parody site, the ‘Onion’. But alas, it probably wasn’t. I just sounds like it.

    But this only goes to show there are no limits to the absurdity people will swallow once they have been induced to check their minds in along with their coats and hats to the “authorities”.

    I cannot help but wonder why people, in general, cannot see how transparent the emperor’s oh-so-fine and arrogant clothing is. But I have watched as during my lifetime the general public has been gradually and deliberately brainwashed to a 180d reversal of understanding and attitude on the homosexual agenda. It’s been a strange process to watch. Chilling, in a way, too, to realize how submissive and pliable people are in the hands of ‘authority’.
