Christian Group has bank account removed due to "unacceptable views"

Well, as another member of the British public, I say bobbins is spot on.From personal experience, I'd say it is easy to say positive things about tolerance and inclusion in the abstract (such as when being asked about them in surveys) but this is very different from being confronted with them personally. This happened to me a few years back, and I personally found it quite depressing that actually living by my treasured egalitarian principles was a lot harder than I would have liked. I got there, but it was a sobering lesson.My take on the current mentality of the British public is that there's a lot of people out there who would LIKE to be tolerant of homosexuality (or even think they are) - but that does not mean they find it easy to actually BE so. Many people still, in their gut, feel uncomfortable. Our politicans are (quite rightly, for once) acting on the desire of the people (as shown in surveys) rather than the actuality (as shown by the actions described by Bobbins and Charles).edit: changed 'difficult' to 'easy'This message has been edited by gengar, 27-06-2005 01:37 PM

Agreed. But people can struggle to make that allowance, equating their discomfort with 'that's wrong' rather than 'that's not how I'd choose to live' (I hope that's not splitting hairs too much!).Especially when some of the laws of the land appear to reflect their discomfort.
