Tolerance is a two way game.
|
Letter to various newspapers
Dear Sir
About two years ago I was having lunch with the Lord Chancellor and the 2nd Sea Lord in Portsmouth. I ventured the opinion that the active recruitment of homosexuals into the royal navy might lead to more complications than they had appeared to think through. I was very quickly put back in my basket. It was clearly not an issue for further debate. The Lord Chancellor’s view was quite black and white we live in a permissive liberal secular society whether we like it or not.
I thought at the time and still do, that it is not possible to leave out a moral, ethical or religious dynamic from this awkward subject. Tolerance is a two way game. One man’s permissiveness is another’s moral abyss.
Forcing practicing Christians or Muslims from public office because they hold a different view will not in the long run advance the cause of homosexuals. Let us hope the somewhat myopic approach of this government does not put tolerance off the agenda to everyone’s detriment. A man asked to chose between the state and his god will invariably choose his god and homosexuals burn as easily as Roman Catholics.
