Latvia Angers EU’s Sense of ‘Gayness’

There are still small pockets of resistance left in the EU. Not everyone is buying into the idea that gayness is a state of being but rather an issue of morality.

Last Thursday the Saeima, the Parliament of Latvia, upset the European Union by refusing to accept a labour bill that would make it a criminal offense for a private person or company to refuse to employ a gay person. The Saeima only approved the non-discrimination clauses, which Brussels had told the country to accept, after removing discrimination on the basis of ???sexual preference??? from the discriminations listed in the bill. The Latvian parliamentarians insisted on the right of private employers to turn down people whose moral behaviour they reject.

It amazes me that similar protection hasn’t been given to other sexual preferences as of yet. You would think that the all inclusive morality of the gay movement would also seek to protect “adulterer’s” and “pedophiles”. There isn’t any more or less proof that these other ‘preferences’ are in a person when they are born. Shall we name others… such as “bestiality”. If this is truly the argument for “gayness” then lets put all preferences on the table and give all similar special protection.

As one commenter at the Brussels Journal said, it is a mark of eroding liberties when we don’t protect “gayness”.

I hate political correctness as much as the next guy. But gays are not worthy of our fears. They constantly prove they can form successful monogamous relationships and make meaningful economic and social contributions to society. Unfortunately, gays also prove they are the classic “canaries in the coal-mine” when it comes to eroding liberties.

Is it eroding liberties or a sign of eroding morality of western culture? If there wasn’t a Creator who sets the rules for living then perhaps it really wouldn’t be an issue.
