BBC: Catholic pupils ‘invited to sign anti-gay marriage petition’
Education Secretary Michael Gove is to examine claims the Catholic Education Service (CES) broke impartiality rules on the topic of gay marriage…

“Schools have a responsibility under law to ensure children are insulated from political activity and campaigning in the classroom,” said a Department for Education spokesperson. “While faith schools, rightly, have the freedom to teach about sexual relations and marriage in the context of their own religion, that should not extend to political campaigning.”

Rightly? Would it be equally right for so-called faith schools to have the freedom to teach the biological sciences, say, ‘in the context of their own religion’?

BBC: Ban organised religion: Sir Elton

Sir Elton John has said he would like to see all organised religion banned and accused it of trying to “turn hatred towards gay people”.

What a total pillock!

It’s pretty damn rich for a gay man of all people to call for an activity practiced by millions of others (often in private, amongst consenting adults) to be banned.

What we really need, Sir Elton, is for people to work out for themselves that homophobia is wrong, and to work out for themselves that it’s pointless praying to Empty Sky.

We need people to overcome their irrational beliefs by becoming rational, not by trying to persecute the irrational beliefs out of them.
