United Kingdom of Religious Hypocrites:
The drama queens from the "Christian Concern for our Nation" (a branch of the Lawyers Christian Fellowship) sent a petition to the Queen: ›We appeal to your Majesty to protect our right to hold the Biblical view that a practising homosexual relationship is not of equal moral worth to the heterosexual relationship of a married couple.‹
Reason is a new British law which would protect against refusal of services because of sexual orientation (e.g. refusing hotel or guesthouse rooms to gay couples). Now they are afraid that they have to allow Gay Tea Dance parties in their churches and unchristian behavior in their guests beds...
