Discrimination against LGBTI people : Comments

By Peter Bowden, published 15/10/2018

Is freedom to practice one's religion an overriding belief? Are people ever allowed to discriminate against others because of their religious beliefs?

God clearly discriminates. People repent and receive mercy thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ and His sacrifice or spend eternity without God in torment. Nothing new about this teaching and nothing the god deniers say or do will change the truth. You would think it would be the godless schools that have failed miserably at every point despite massive increases in funding over the last 40 years that would be under scrunity. Oh no, now we want kids to do role plays to see if they are 'gay' or not and then wonder why such sickness is produced. The secular system with its massive increase in money still continues to see standards slide, suicide among kids increase, drug usage become normal, perversion increase. And not happy to live in their own poo they now want 'Christian' schools to follow the same path even know many believing and unbelieving parents sacrifice much to send their kids for something better than the zoos. Of course Islamic schools will not be on the radar for the god haters.

«In summary, religious institutions, or businesses, should not be allowed to refuse their services or products to LGBTI people. To do so is to discriminate against them in a morally unacceptable manner.»

The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the bells are calling for prayer - Carthago must be destroyed!

Such is the logic of this last paragraph, after all the nice talk about ahimsa and the Dalai-Lama comes the sudden call to persecute people for their NON-ACTION. The correct comparison should be to urge the beating of a slave for refusing to perform a task s/he does not agree to do.

I believe that people have the right to live as they choose so long as it doesn't affect anyone else in an adverse manner.
But I DO NOT believe that one person should be forced to give up his or her liberty so that someone else can have theirs.
It should be noted that this 'discrimination' is essentially a 'denial of service', not 'discrimination' as might be inferred by 'bullying', so don't make out 'harm' to be something it isn't.
Nobody's forcing the student to go to that school, they're free to go elsewhere.
It seems to me its the student that wants to impose what they believe on the school.
Who's educating who?

The student isn't being asked to go against their beliefs, but the school board and parents are being asked to go against theirs.

If you want a basic 'generic' education send them to a public school.
If you want to pay more to send your kids to a private school then you can choose to do so and choose what school you want to send them to but you must understand that the school and the parents of the kids currently enrolled there make the rules.

These parents not only pay for their kids private schools, they probably also pay the taxes of all the other kids in public schools.
You do not have the right to impose upon them over and above what the school board and parents of the school decide.

These people pay for the right to choose what education they want.
You don't have the right to impose your beliefs upon them in their house.

I know a number of people far smarter than the head of the ACTU. They are not union members but I guarantee they have no hope of the job of they were to apply. People are to dumb to see everyone discriminates.
