It does seem like there are double standards here, and for reasons I can’t fully understand.

TO repeal the Waddington Amendment which would then make it illegal for a youth worker to tell his youth group about God’s biblically given view of the right framework for sexual relationships.. ie marriage.. This isn’t Labour.. it’s control freakery masquerading as the one thing it isn’t.. Liberalism.

The outcry of horror and pressure from the gay lobby over a genuine concern over the rights of religious people v gay people.. you’d think Grayling had suggested slaughtering the firstborn or something!! PLease please please Labour party.. don’t make it impossible for me to support you. I love all people in Christ, allpeople.. but I have to be free to preach the gospel and live it.. In a choice between Labour and God, who d’ya think might win??

Memory loss for a potential premiere who is still in his early 40s? Perhaps dementia is setting in early for Cameron ; or maybe he is an opportunist hypocrite , and has decided to follow the , “dont do what I say , do what I do ” philosophy ,and just ignore the gay society , just to support Chris Grayling’s comments.
As for a Jewish B&B ignoring Muslim Customers ? Is the person who posted the suggestion not just a tide bit encouraging prejudice just to Support Cameron’s silence over his hand picked shadow cabinet minister Chris Grayling ?

Always got to bring that up. His words were “if it’s a question of somebody who’s doing a B&B in their own home, that individual should have the right to decide who does and who doesn’t come into their own home”.

Are those such controversial vews to hold? Would we expect a Jewish B&B owener to be welcoming of, say, a group of Muslims or vice versa? Remember, we’re talking about coming into a person’s home, that happens to be a B&B, not a hotel. Now would LFF be so critical of Grayling if the B&B owner in question had been a Muslim refusing two gay men?

As for Cameron leaving out “gay or straight”, that’s clearly an error of memory. You’d have to be clinically insane, or perhaps Labour voter, to think otherwise.

This is the change we need.
