 Gay Rights!
Since the sexual discrimination law was passed and rights were granted to homosexual couples, much outrage has been caused. Some believe that civil partnerships deserve the same rights as heterosexual couples and some believe that gay rights have been weighed in favour to that of other people’s rights.
It will become an offence to discriminate against gay couples for the provision of services such as ‘Bed and Breakfast’. Those that oppose this legislation argue that it infringes on their right to express their beliefs, which do not coincide with the acceptance of homosexuality such as Christians.
However, gay rights movements welcome such legislation arguing that it is unfair to discriminate against someone for their sexual preferences much in the same way that is unfair to discriminate against a young person just because they may come from a younger generation (age discrimination law).
What is your view on this?
