Urgent Action Required to Counter Homosexual Activism in Parliament
A new attempt to destroy freedom and family values is likely to come before parliament on Monday 8th October. Homosexual rights activists are calling upon the government to extend existing racial hatred law to cover ‘homophobic’ incidents. Stonewall, the homosexual rights lobby group, have been encouraging their supporters to write to their MPs asking them to support an amendment to the Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill, which receives its second reading on Monday 8th October. The amendment would be aimed at tackling words and behaviour which ‘stir up hate against gay people’.
If such an amendment is put forward it is likely to be in the form of the existing “incitement against racial hatred” law. The type of actions targeted would not only be violently homophobic words, but would no doubt cover any criticism of practising homosexuality, homosexual acts and lifestyles. We faced a very similar battle with the religious hatred law, which was eventually amended to protect freedom of speech and freedom of religion. That amended law came into force on Monday 1st October 2007.
The LifeLeague says: The proposed amendment in this case would constitute another serious attack on freedom of speech and freedom of religion. We've already seen ample evidence of how those who speak about biblical teaching on sexuality are maligned, threatened and intimidated in an attempt to keep them silent about their views. We urge you to politely contact your MP and urge him/her to use their influence against this move on the part of militant gay rights activists. Please click here to do so.
Freedom and Family Values are under attack - we must defend them! |
