yep the Grand Mufti says homosexuals have a mental disorder but of course all the god haters focus on the Christian schools. What a surprise.

Issy, absolutely if every member of the Christian institution was holding the same belief, but there is no conflict between homosexuality etc and Christian teaching. In fact there is no reason to exclude gays from being Christians, as many Christians support homosexuality, some even go as far as claiming Christ was a homosexual. Its not something work related, sacking is simply based of the belief of one or two individuals, say the principle and parish priest. In a case I was very familiar with over 25 years ago, two extremely competent and long term heterosexual teachers were sacked (refused to resign) from my sons Catholic School because they were in a relationship, and living together, even though their own marriages had irretrievably broken down. The irony is they were sacked on the insistence of the parish priest, who was later found to be a paedophile, not sacked, but "retired" early and given a car, money, and a church unit to live in....hypocrisy!

Should an employer whose political philosophy is opposed to socialism, have the right to sack a competent and dutiful employee because they discover that employee is a member of the Labor Party? No of course not.

PAUL 1405 you carry wounds well, let us face it they are inflicted because you are a green.
Subject or truth has no part to play, get the green is the only rule.
Honestly this thread should have all good people agreeing.
Teachers who are gay, children to, are not infectious, they do not spread illness.
You will not convince some, truth is no defense when unfocused rants are involved

Paul,

"Issy, absolutely if every member of the Christian institution was holding the same belief, but there is no conflict between homosexuality etc and Christian teaching"

That is disingenuous, to say the least, see Paul (not in the mirror) Romans1.

How do you feel about members of the Greens who openly advocate clear felling of native forests; keep them in the fold?

Yes Belly, some hate Greens, and some hate Labor, it should not concern us, we give as good as we get. Good luck in Wentworth on Saturday, if 'coreflutes' on telegraph poles decided elections then Labor would win this one hands down. Don't know how Kerryn Phelps is fairing, but I will give a Labor mate a call tonight, he gets the good oil on these things at times.

To answer your question Issy, NO... I would not support that opinion, but unless a member brings the party into disrepute or acts illegally, there are no grounds for expulsion. Domestic violence is both a criminal and moral issue. Should a church school sack an employee who has an AVO taken against them, simply on moral grounds?

Would you vote for a party that does a preference deal with Pauline's Northern Nazi's? I would not, but some will.

Paul,

For a Green to openly advocate clear felling of native forests would bring the party into disrepute.
