Oops, they did it again

The Council of Europe has tabled yet another radically socialist document attacking the traditional family. The Draft Resolution, coming from the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights, is entitled the “Report on Discrimination on the Basis of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity” and can be found here: http://assembly.coe.int/Documents/WorkingDocs/Doc09/EDOC12087.pdf.

The document is set to be debated and voted on January 27, 2010 in Strasbourg. The Draft Resolution creates completely subjective and unsupportable definitions of “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” (using logic akin to if a dog feels like a cat then we must respect the fact that he is a cat). Also, the resolution in the name of “equality” runs afoul of the rights of freedom of expression and freedom of thought, conscience and religion. It further seeks to empty the family and the terms man and woman of any and all of their social goods. It seems that the Council of Europe is trying to define equality by equally marginalizing the 99% percent of the population who do not identify themselves as practitioners of homosexual behavior. One thing is guaranteed however and that is that the Alliance Defense Fund, as well as other well respected institutions promoting the family and religious freedoms, will be in the trenches fighting this one.
