Sinn Fein/IRA and Gaystapo – Natural Bed-Fellows?
—————-
Some readers will be aware of the latest gaystapo hate campaign in Ulster, where the so-called Equality Commission has brought a civil case against Ashers Baking Company after it refused to bake a cake with a pro-gay marriage slogan.

Now Paul Givan, a DUP member of the Northern Ireland Assembly, plans to bring forward a “conscience clause” to reform Ulster law, creating a legal exemption on grounds of strongly held religious beliefs.

It is of course deplorable that any law prevents people in any private business from accepting or rejecting customers on any grounds. It’s THEIR business, not the state’s. But these days it’s sexually normal folk who find themselves in the firing line.
“Our democracy for centuries sought to make reasonable accommodation for religious belief and freedom of conscience,” says Givan…”Gay rights, and the right to have those rights endorsed and promoted by everyone, is more important than the rights of Christians to live according to their conscience,” he said.
But at once legislators belonging to the Sinn Fein/IRA murder gang faction, who ipso facto ought to be disqualified from debates on morality of any kind, are declaring solidarity with the gaystapo. This could well scupper the needful reform.
Having recently criticised the DUP, I’m glad to admit that Gavin’s move is to be applauded, as a welcome but small step to roll back the queers’ crusade against freedom.
But TUV leader Jim Alister is also on the warpath to defend decency. He tabled a proposal for a half-a-million pounds reduction in the ‘Equality’ Commissars’ budget.

“Clearly the Commission has too much money if it has money to squander on persecuting a Christian bakery. So, I am giving MLAs the opportunity to express their disapproval of the conduct of the commission by cutting their budget. Such is a traditional parliamentary tactic available to backbenchers to focus attention on a matter of public concern…we have the opportunity, in addition, to give tangible effect to denunciation of the Commission’s anti-Christian agenda.
“Taking £500,000 off its budget will focus the Commission’s mind on addressing its proper role, instead of its malicious vendetta against conservative Christians.
