Gay Humanists Thank Pope for Reinforcing Case for Secularism
London 2nd February 2010 The Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association (GALHA) has questioned Pope Benedict’s attack on Britain’s Equality laws and stated that this reinforces the importance of creating a truly secular Europe in which no religion or belief system holds a privileged position. Pope Benedict has denounced British law, designed to protect people from discrimination on grounds of religion or sexual orientation as an attempt “to impose unjust limitations on the freedom of religious communities to act in accordance with their beliefs.
