The Conscience Clause... Oh where do I begin
to explain my utter distaste for this piece of legislation that should be
christened the “Anti Equality Act”? We live in a democracy that elected
representatives can openly discourage equality on TV, Radio and Social Media.
For all who are not yet aware of the Conscience Clause I will give you some
examples of what the legislation actually cover.
1.
It would mean that Same Sex Couples would not
be allowed to adopt of a Catholic Adoption Agency if the agency objected due to
the couples sexual orientation
2.
It would mean a Muslim Baker would not have
to bake a Cake with “Pro-Gay” Slogans
3.
It would mean that a Evangelical Photographer
could choose whether or not he wanted to photograph a same sex marriage
If this bill is introduced people who class
themselves homosexual will be deprived of services on the head of the service
provider. In this day and age NO person should be deprived of any service due
to their sexual orientation and personally I am totally and utterly opposed to
any such move. The people of Northern Ireland have began to move on and now the
DUP are trying to drag us back the 17th century and I tell you this and I tell
you no more, the people of Northern Ireland will be dragged back kicking and
screaming until someone takes a stand to the terrible homophobic bill. The
people of Northern Ireland will overcome the bigots of society and will
overcome with strength and conviction.
