Hello
Today, the post instructions are different so I am going to write in a different way. I´ve been asked to choose a piece of news from a Bristish newspaper called "The Guardian". I chose a very interisting piece of news. It´s about a case of discrimination. Especifically discrimination for being gay. To introduce you I´ll explain what happened first and then say what are mi beliefs and what I think about it. Ok then, two years ago a gay couple of mature men were refused to stay in a B&B because the owner argued that it was again her beliefs that a same-sex couple spend the night in the same room (and obvisly the same bed). These two men brought the case to a civil court. Finally, they won the case and the woman was told to pay £3600 in order to compensate the damages of her actions.

I think this is a very interesting topic because discrimination is still a problem in every society. In this case the woman refused to give acommodation to the gay couple because it was again her chrsitians beliefs. Here we have a big problem, the religous views versus the civil rights. What I think is that despite the fact that I believe that discrimination is unaceppted if someone thinks diferent because of any reason, he or she has to keep that thought for themselves, I mean if you are going to run a bussines you just can´t be discrminator. I strongly believe that in order to have a better society we have to be more tolerant and comprenssive.
I think like you, we aren't gods or something like that to choose for other people what they have to do or think. I think that the tribunal has taken the right desicion.
ResponderEliminarSo sad that the owner of the B&B was so ignorant... being gay is not a choice, is a condition and it doesn't mean you are good or bad, just are different
ResponderEliminarI've never understood why people care so much if the others like men or women, I mean, let them do what they want!
ResponderEliminarI agree with you. Our society discriminates a lot, and it's not problem for the woman who sleeps with who. She should discriminate less and act more accord the christians valour, and "love one's neighbor"
ResponderEliminarDiscrimination means that the society chooses moral topics that a single person can't change. Unless we don't let people choice their own forms of life, discrimination will exist.
