If Homosexuals Can't Sleep Together, No One Can

Yesterday the British government ruled that to comply with the Sexual Orientation Regulations of last year's Equality Act, religious owners of hotels and bed and breakfasts must either allow homosexual activity on their premises, or forbid any guests from sleeping together.

This perfectly demonstrates the liberal concept of equality: in the interests of advancing depravity, an all-powerful intrusive bureaucracy sees to it that if everyone can't have something, then no one can. It's called "social justice."

Not only hoteliers will be affected. For example, if a photographer objects to taking pictures of gay lovebirds smooching, then he can't take pictures of any couples and must switch to portrait photography.

It isn't going to get any better. The Brown government has come up with a new cabinet post, the Secretary of State for Equalities, whose responsibility is to impose authoritarian political correctness on the remnants of British civilization. The first to fill the post is Deputy Labor Leader Harriet Harman, who recently announced at a gay pride event that a new Commission for Equality and Human Rights will "mainstream the battle against homophobia" by ramming the homosexual agenda down the throats of the populace.

Yet many still regard Britain to be a free country.
