kind of proves the point - discrimination on all fronts is still rife
This has been sent through to us - please take part.
Subject: Petition ~ Exemptions for religious organisations from the Goods, Services and Facilities regulations!
The No 10 Downing Street website runs a petition section where you can sign petitions you feel strongly about. Right now one of the most popular(over 8,000 signatures) petitions on the 10 Downing Street site is the anti-gay petition aimed against the introduction in Northern Ireland of the Goods and Services Sexual Orientation Regulations (SOR) to to be introduced in the rest of the UK. It is the law that the certain religious right campaigners tried to get the Lords to throw out two weeks ago - but failed
As you will be aware here in mainland Britain we have the opportunity to end discrimination concerning refusal of provision of goods and services to lesbians, gay men and bisexual people to become unlawful.
Please check out http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/GSFRegs/ and add your support to this petition.
It has a end petition date but we are informed you may disregard the 17th January end date.
Full Text of the intention of the petition is -
"Exemptions for religious organisations from the Goods, Services and Facilities regulations, are of great concern and entirely unjust. The use of services, goods and facilities that heterosexuals take for granted, should be allowed to those from the lesbian, gay and bisexual communities; the protections that minorities and religious groups have in law should be granted to the lesbian gay and bisexual communities also; the end of a two-tier system which denies justice in the provision of goods, services and facilities to the lesbian, gay and bisexual communities should be implemented with no further delay and at the earliest point possible throughout the entirety of the UK."
Please spread the word, pass on the link, so that as many people as possible can sign.
this may or may not interest some of you, it follows on from what I was rambling about.
