Some of you might be aware of a discrimination case involving CYC at Philip Island and a gay group 'Wayout'. The gay group applied to run a camp/seminar on Homophobia and some other things. The camp managers suggested they find an alternative camp site. No application forms were ever filled in.

On the basis of that 'suggestion' a complaint was lodged and the case was settled last week.

PEEL STREET HOTEL. (Collingwood)

http://www.news.com.au/gay-pub-can-bar-heterosexual-drinkers/story-e6frfkp9-1111113624346

In this case, the hotel was allowed to discriminate against heterosexuals and refuse them entry.

Does anyone see the problem?

Isn't the Melbourne Club a sanctuary for gay men too? Or is it just 'men'?

Anyway, it's not so different to allowing religions to discriminate against those that they do not get along with isn't it?

Like, being allowed not to employ gay-lesbian teachers in faith schools, or a teacher who lives 'in sin' with another.

Or refusing to employ an atheist in a faith school.

There's all sorts of 'injustice' supported by the state, mate.

Did the CYC at Phillip Island apply to VCAT for an exemption (and openly advertise its intention to do so) before trying to apply a discriminatory door policy, like the bar did?

Was the intention of the CYC to make other patrons at its camp feel more secure? Did gay people regularly turn up and insult the other camp patrons?

People discriminate every time they buy goods from Coles, employ someone or ask someone home for dinner. The laws covering discrimination are often only enforced when the loud vocal minority groups want to spew out their hatred. We saw that when the 2 Danny's were charged by feminazi's as well as the case AlgoreisRich mentions. Unfortunately the average Aussie won't really be to bothered until they are personally affected. We live in interesting times when evil is called good and good evil. You have clearly shown that Algore in your exposure of the everyday hypocrisy of secularist.

Quite right runner, "evil is called good and good evil".

It's time for the evil of evangelical religion, and the Vatican, to be called for what it is... an evil.

Yet another Troll type topic from Al, designed purely to bait people. Why is he allowed to do it?
