UK: Some More Equal Than Others as “Gays” Get Their Way

“A vociferous and well organised minority will have more rights, and therefore be more equal than the majority which increasingly has no voice of its own, no professional campaign groups to act on its behalf.

To paraphrase George Orwell from his prescient 1945 novel “Animal Farm” – “all men are equal but some are more equal than others”.

As the Blair regime gets set to force through Parliament new legislation which on the face of it is stop discrimination against homosexuals, the reality is the creation of a protected group in our society who it turns out will be more equal than other groups.

The Sexual Orientation Regulations Bill was passed by a majority of MPs in the Commons last night but some MPs are furious that the Bill did not receive a proper hearing and that parliamentary procedures were being abused. It is normal practice to give MPs a week’s notice even for minor legislation and it is likely that committee members would not have had time to read the regulations.

The 90 minutes allocated for debate last night involved only one MP other than three front-bench spokesmen as Labour Equality Minister Meg Munn gave no opportunity for discussion.Unseemly haste

Former home office minister Ann Widdecombe said last night there had been an ‘almost unprecedented shortness of time’ from the Act being introduced and moved into the Commons. They were being moved with ‘extreme and unseemly haste,’ she said.

Tory MP William Cash said: “I am absolutely appalled by this whole thing. These regulations are being railroaded through like they didn’t matter. We know that the Prime Minister didn’t want the regulations to go this way. We know Ruth Kelly didn’t want it.” Peers may be able to block the decision in the Lords in a vote due to take place tomorrow (Wednesday 21st).

The legislation will demand that businesses and other service providers do not discriminate against homosexuals but the consequence is that the SORs amount to nothing less than a charter for gay rights activists and their allies to threaten, persecute, intimidate, silence and maliciously sue Christians and other conservative / moral minded people who do not view the practice of homosexuality as a legitimate and equal way of life.

Constitutional vandalism

Furthermore the pace with which the legislation has been fast-tracked through the Commons amounts to nothing less than a piece of constitutional vandalism and is completely inconsistent with the British way of life. It attacks civil liberty, freedom of conscience, freedom of religion, freedom of expression, freedom of speech, freedom of education, parental rights and the right of employees to be treated fairly. It is a clumsy, indiscriminate blunt weapon of state-sponsored oppression and dictatorship – designed to hand de facto control over the private life of the individual to an unreasonable, vociferous, intolerant minority. It also in breaches Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which protects an individual’s right to freedom of conscience and religion, thus exposing the nonsense of human equality.

A vociferous and well organised minority will have more rights, and therefore be more equal than the majority which increasingly has no voice of its own, no professional campaign groups to act on its behalf.

Employees and owners of small businesses such as wedding photographers, printers, hoteliers, religious bookshops could be subjected to hostile litigation because of their opinions on sexual ethics.

If the SORs become law, a situation could be created where pupils who identify themselves as gay can sue over the content of a curriculum, yet Christian and other conservative / moral minded pupils have no such recourse. Instead, a privileged minority group is being created and given sweeping powers over the rights, opinions and liberties of the rest of the population.

Ironically the passage of similar legislation in Northern Ireland did something that all the false starts of peace talks throughout the 30 years of The Troubles failed to do; it brought two communities together. In Northern Ireland, where SORs have already been introduced, they have been exceptionally unpopular and met with massive, cross-community opposition. The Irish Catholic Church and 50% of the Northern Ireland Assembly were united in their opposition to it. The passage of similar legislation in England and Wales could see Labour lose more support from the native working class which mostly has a more wholesome view of homosexuality, and ironically the Muslim bloc vote which Labour needs to win in many inner cities areas.

It could be the case that those who meddle and experiment with ludicrous social engineering sow the seeds of their own downfall.

Perhaps Orwell’s piece should now read – “all minority groups are equal but some are more equal than others”.
