Foxy,

"When institutions take public money to run (partly or in whole) their institutions then they have to play by the same rules as all others; wouldn't that be fair?"

Don't you think that that would be fair?

Is Mise,

Yes that would be fair - however, as I stated earlier
not all institutions comply. As the following link explains:

Is Mise,

The link also points out that if the Review is about
religious liberty and not discrimination against
gay people, if it is about religion, then presumably
other religious doctrines about divorce, adultry,
premarital sex, would also be grounds to exclude staff
or students. However the Review does not say that.

Foxy,

"The focus on student or staff’s sexuality and gender identity also reflects what critics of the review have argued since day one: this review was not about religious liberty but rather discrimination against LGBT people. If it were about religion, then presumably other religious doctrines about divorce, adultery or premarital sex would also be grounds to exclude staff or students. From what has been reported in the media so far (as the review is still not public), that is not the case"

This is the case and some schools have sacked staff for those very reasons.

Has a junior sodomite ever been expelled from a Christian school? Would the parents of such a sodomite send them to a Christian school? Have any of these kids revealed themselves as sodomites at a Christian school? You don't know, do you? Administrators of Christian schools have reacted by saying that they are not aware of any of this nonsense arising. This is just more unnecessary and divisive crap to keep people at each others throats

Is Mise,

Exactly.

It is about discrimination - and hopefully the government
will consider the Report very carefully and as I stated
earlier - will think about that complex inter-section
of rights and law.
