Foxy,
Just a small modification of your previous post: "People have every right to practise their sexual preferences in private and the rest of us have every right to reject, mock, and criticize, these preferences. There is no such thing as freedom from gender offence. If you live in the West, you should not assume that your sexual preferences are sacrosanct to those who do not share them." The left whingers on this forum intend that they should have the right to criticise Christians but get up in arms if this is applied to other faiths such as Islam or gays, trans, races etc. You can't have it both ways.

Shadow Minister,
Such is the beauty of religion. It seeks maximal protection for its narrative whilst openly discriminating against others in endless ways. Posted by Foxy, Friday, 18 June 2021 2:09:44 PM

cont'd ...
As we know religiously founded institutions are afforded legal protection (varies by state) to discriminate against those of other faiths, or those possessing no faith, and LGBTIQ students and teachers. The following link gives more: http://www.theconversation.com/theres-no-argument-or-support-for-allowing-schools-to-discriminate-against-lgbtiq-teachers-104765 Religious schools should not be able to discriminate against student (or teachers) on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity. But religious schools should remain free to teach their doctrines respectfully. And the law should make that quite clear. People may want (or not want) to send their children to such schools but they should have a realistic choice. Society is the better when everyone has that choice and when everyone knows what is involved in making that choice. Posted by Foxy, Friday, 18 June 2021 2:38:02 PM

convictions in private and the rest of us have
every right to reject, mock, and criticize, these
beliefs. There is no such thing as freedom from
religious offense. If you live in the West, you
should not accept that your religious views
are sacrosant to those who do not share your faith.
