EHRC Vs God: Nobody Knows Anything

It's difficult to know quite where the Equality and Human Rights Commission stand on the "competing freedoms" of The Gays and The Godbotherers.
Mainly because the EHRC has issued a series of contradictory statements since June.
There's a blog giving a handy overview of their vacillations by Nelson Jones on the New Statesman's website today.
There's a consultation document on the EHRC website - where they also ask what you think.
Might be an idea if they decided what they think.
Fagburn keeps vacillating himself.
Part of me doesn't really give a flying fuck if some fruitloop wants to wear some ancient death cult symbol at work.
But all you were asked to do was wear it under your uniform - what is problem?
If some homophobic bigot doesn't want to conduct civil partnership registrations?
A colleague will cover, so it's not quite the same as being turned away from a guesthouse.
And if a homophobe says he doesn't want to give a gay couple relationship counselling?
I really wouldn't want his advice in the first place.
But then again, why don't you all just SHUT UP AND DO YOUR FUCKING JOB?
The only newspaper that's taken much of an interest in all this is - surprise! - The Daily Mail.
Today they claim;
'Equality quango's two-tier law for Christians that allows crosses at work but upholds gay rights'
In case you haven't noticed, like the Express, the Mail hate the EHRC; "Equality? Human rights!? BOO!"
But this is (sort-of) what the EHRC are proposing in their consultation document above.
They are against "discrimination" where Christians have been told they can't wear (visible) crucifixes at work.
But there will be no "right" to opt-out of providing a service to homos - such as conducting a partnership ceremony, or giving counselling.
Nothing has been set in stone - it's a consultation document.
Knowing the EHRC they'll probably change their mind a few times in the next two weeks.
And the final decision will be made not by them but by the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
Christian nutters are loving all this palaver, of course - their religion is basically one big collective persecution complex.
Hence those stupid crosses they insist on wearing with the naked dude on.
