MP Calls for Anti-Terror Powers to Prevent Christians From Teaching Gay Marriage is Wrong [UK]

Mark Spencer MP wants to introduce banning orders which would prevent schools teaching about the Christian definition of marriage

A Tory MP has said that the anti-terror laws used to prevent hate speech should be applied to those who teach that gay marriage is wrong.

Mark Spencer, the MP for Sherwood in Nottinghamshire, has promoted the use of Extreme Disruption Orders (EDOs) to prevent teachers from disseminating the traditional Christian idea that marriage should only be between a man and a woman.

EDOs are new measures introduced by David Cameron and Theresa May, designed to prevent the spreading of radical ideas by jihadists.

Mr Spencer wrote in a letter to a constituent that Christian teachers were still entitled to teach their views on same-sex marriage, but only in certain situations.

This has raised fears amongst Christian campaigners that those who believe marriage should only be between a man and a woman will be branded extremists.

All those Christians need to do is offer a pinch of incense. They don’t even need to mean it.

I mean, what’s the harm?

What drives these people to force a denial of reality? Is it their fear of overpopulation?

After a ‘discussion’ with my Leftist SIL, I researched the ‘gay gene’. Turns out that both of the ‘researchers’ from the early 90’,s who proclaimed they had found a ‘gay gene’, were gay activists. No one has been able to reproduce their ‘statistics’. The whole gay agenda is PC on steroids.

Spencer, a recent but momentary blemish along the timeline of civilization is wiser than generations of Christin educators. He's in for a big surprise when a much less tolerant culture finally catches up to him.
