Elderly Christian Couple Strike Back  Britain -- A further episode in a story I mentioned in late December last year: "A retired couple questioned by police after they wrote to their local council challenging what the saw as a pro-gay stance are suing the force and council. Joe Roberts, 73, and wife Helen, 68, of Fleetwood, Lancs, were reported by Wyre Borough Council who said they showed "potentially homophobic attitudes." The devout Christians are suing Lancashire Police and the council for breach of their human rights". I don't know what particular "human rights" they are relying on but there is a lot of EU human rights law that is applicable in Britain. I would be delighted to see such law used to squash official British homophilia. I think governments should be neither for nor against homosexuality. It is a totally private matter and so should debate about it be. But official Britain seems to positively preach homosexuality. I can however foresee that some Asian governments (e.g. Singapore) will in the future make official attempts to discourage homosexuality as part of their efforts to prevent population decline. Actually, there has always been institutionalized homosexuality in Britain. It used to be said of Britain's great single-sex private schools (which the British call Public Schools) that "homosexuality was not so much tolerated as compulsory". But most of the boys concerned grew up to have normal marriages so indoctrination may not matter much.
