Discrimination

British courts have found overwhelmingly against Christians, occasionally comparing their beliefs unfavourably with secular principles. Now the issue has reached the top of the legal process, and, by making this an oral hearing, the European Court is clearly troubled by it and taking it very seriously.
Its findings will constitute a watershed moment in what has become a slow-acting, but profound, social change. Attention will focus especially on the ruling in the cases where Christians claim they faced discrimination by being forced to provide services to gay people despite their belief that homosexual practise was wrong. It seems likely that, whatever is decided in Strasbourg, that Christians will soon be able to wear crosses at work, but the judgement on their beliefs about homosexuality will be far-reaching. In Scotland the question of independence will I have no doubt reach the people of Scotland to decide alongside the equity agenda of same sex marriage probably reaching statue by 2014! Get saving for the parties folks!
