In his recent appearance on Channel Fours, 4thought, Human Rights campaigner, Peter Tatchell put it best when he said; “To deny Christians the right to discriminate against others is not persecution, its protection.”
His comment came after the well publicised views of a couple refused to give a bed and breakfast to a two men because they felt it went against their religion to allow unmarried couples to share a double bed. Even when it was revealed the couple were in fact married (they had entered into a civil partnership) they were still refused. Of course this had nothing to do about marriage and everything to do with discrimination on the ground of sexuality.
