The Law Society, which represents solicitors in England and Wales, is promoting the London Gay Pride parade and sponsoring a conference looking ‘Beyond Legal Rights’, Christian Voice can reveal.
Last year, the Law Society banned a conference on marriage which had been booked at their HQ in London by Christian Concern. CC were told just days before the event that it breached “equality and diversity” policies.
The conference speakers held mainstream views that marriage is between a man and a woman. They included academics, the head of a political think tank and a writer for the Telegraph newspaper.
Most reasonable people would take the view that the Law Society should have as much freedom to let their conference rooms to whoever they please as a Christian hotelier should have to decide who can sleep under their roof. But for Lawyers to allow a booking and then break their contract doesn’t set a very good example to the rest of us.
Christian Concern have now reached an agreement with the Law Society in which the Society agrees that they are entitled to hold their views and can book the premises in future. But CC point out that this kind of what they call ‘censorship’ is happening before any change in the law on marriage.
What will happen after ‘gay marriage’ is enacted is anyone’s guess, but our guesswork can be helped by the Law Society’s foray into the promotion of sodomites’ rights post ‘gay marriage’.
As well as taking part in the London Gay Pride Parade on 29th June 2013, and despite promising to hold ‘a debate on same-sex marriage’, the Law Society is sponsoring a conference next Thursday under the banner of the ‘InterLaw Diversity Forum’ to ‘secure real equality for LGBT+ people now that a comprehensive legal framework has been achieved’. ‘Special guest speakers’ are Tim Hailes, MD of JP Morgan and Fiona Woolf, a previous president of the Law Society and diversity advocate who is about to become Lord Mayor of the City of London.
Now they have – or are about to get – legal equality (don’t tell them that the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill now going through Parliament isn’t ‘equal marriage at all) ‘the gays’ want even more.
Dressing up their demands in terms of ‘anti-violence’ and ‘anti-LGBT+ bullying’ (no, we don’t know what the + is for either) ignores the fact that most violence against homosexuals occurs within their own network, and that their anti-bullying programmes encourage bullying. The real agenda will be about how to shut up those opposed to them and how to push Christians out of public sector jobs.

I think you’ll find the + after LGBT means IQ.
Nothing to do with intelligence. I had to Google it. Apparently the “I” stands for Intersex and the “Q” for Questioning.
Excuse my ignorance – but what does “intersex” mean?
Presumably it’s different from transgender, which is the T in LGBT, so perhaps it means hermaphrodite?
Yup, intersex is another term for hermaphrodite.
Or apparently not: http://www.isna.org/faq/hermaphrodite
According to Organisation Intersex International in the UK :
Intersex is applied to people whose biological sex cannot be clearly classified as male or female.
They may have the biological attributes of both sexes or lack some of the biological attributes considered necessary to be defined as one or the other sex.

I share your belief in the teaching of the Bible on this matter and your concern about the Law Society’s behaviour, but may I humbly suggest that your own comments (e.g. ‘the gays want more’) could be less antagonistically expressed?
Of course they could. What would that achieve?
Jas 4:6b & 1Pet 5:5b: God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
These intolerable things happening now don’t surprise me at all, in the world in which we now live honest and good people have no place. The world is becoming intolerable for the ordinary decent living individuals who have a conscience and a heart. The bible tells us that the last days would be a difficult time for decent respectable people to live in. Also, that things which were once classed as decent and right would be classed as wrong and the things that were classed as wrong would be acceptable. All I see is trouble and a world not fit to live in.
Christian Voice – keep up the strong work; We heard yesterday of a situation in a Christian church where a youth worker has come out as gay and is still employed there doing the same role. Another part-time youth worker there has also come out as gay too and is telling all the youth. Both of these men who state they are non-practising celibate homosexuals (not in a relationship with each other) are still in their roles as youth workers and as part of their work no doubt giving the young people ‘advice’ on how to live etc. If this had occurred just a few years ago they would both immediately (and lovingly) been asked to stand down. As sign of the end times. We must however stand up for what is biblically right.
Isn’t it strange how homosexual men are attracted to work with young people?
Most are not. It’s mostly lesbians who are everywhere in the social welfare industry – probably unfulfilled maternalism?
Isn’t it strange how people end up in all kinds of jobs?
We could point at the hetero-sexual men working at that same place and say ‘Wow, heterosexual men are attracted to work with young people!’.
Pointing out a single attribute of a person is discrimination. Its exactly the same as if Jonathan Popham had pointed out with disgust that a black person was allowed to work there. You guys are the same as the segregationist way back when, just with a different target that is still somewhat socially acceptable. For now – fortunately DOMA was just overturned.
I’m sure ALL people working at that church are their because they want to help others and give back to the community.
I’d be more worried about the catholic priests being near the kids given their track record….
“‘Wow, heterosexual men are attracted to work with young people!’.”
Except they are not. The Catholic priests caught interfering with adolescent boys are the obvious example of homosexual men seeking out jobs with pubescent boys, so thanks for that reminder.
Don’t even try to gross off our African and Caribbean members by suggesting that choosing to commit acts of sodomy with other men is somehow akin to being born with a black skin colour.
And by the way, it’s good to discriminate. People do it all the time. They choose certain friends, certain carrots in the supermarket, a certain motor vehicle. Discrimination is at its best when based on the eternal moral values of Almighty God.
Your prejudice is incredible. Are you a part of the Westboro Baptist church by any chance?
So, in your mind, a heterosexual working there obviously has to be there for completely different reasons than a otherwise identical homosexual person. Interesting how you think you can read peoples minds and intentions.
I bet you also believe that atheists worship satan in secret, and all secretly lust for murder and to destroy humanity.
You are the one who is comparing acts of sodomy to skin color, I said nothing of the sort. Crazy how your mind goes there. All I said was its discrimination to assume that due to one trait, that a person is evil or planning harm. Saying a gay person shouldn’t be allowed to work there just because hes gay is the same as not wanting to work with a black person because of the color of their skin. Or if you hated people from a certain country and said the same of them.
As for ‘Discrimination is at its best when based on the eternal moral values of Almighty God.’ You mean ‘Discrimination is at its best when based on the teaching of illiterate goat herders 2000 years ago who likely thought the world was flat.’
What arrogance – with over 2000 different gods worshiped by people over the course of human history, you believe that everyone who lived from 200,000 years ago to 2000 years ago were wrong, and everyone now of a different religion are wrong as well, and you were lucky enough to be born into the only correct religion. What luck to hit that 1%!
Do they take your brains out when you become an atheist?
The Bible, even if you refuse its divine credentials, is a work of great literature, highly coherent and totally readable, yet you contend it was written by people who were illiterate. Duh!
1%? The proportion of the world’s population who are Christian is around 33%, according to the CIA’s factbook. Oh, and there is no evidence of any human civilisation of any kind 200,000 years ago. Duh! Again! Yes, I believe all those who do not follow Christ are wrong, just as you believe anyone who is not an atheist is wrong, so just lighten up a bit and don’t take yourself so seriously.
I find it extremely sad that people like Jonathon V talk with such disdain about teachings that have been the very foundation stones upon which our civilization was built,and contain principles and values that have sustained our country for over a thousand years. Principles and values I might add that brave people have considered so important that they have been prepared to fight and die to maintain them over the centuries.
Now no account politicians and people like Jonathon V are prepared to cast them aside in the interests of a minority of people who claim the right to perform unnatural acts upon each other. May God have mercy on us.
