Thought Crime

Will the impact of the new Equality legislation be as profound as feared:
 
 
The spokesman for the Scottish Catholic Church said the legislation attacked freedom of religion in a broader way than adoption agencies alone. The legislation, he said, "will impact on anyone who provides goods and services, from the priest who refuses to hire the parish hall to a same-sex couple, to the editor of a Catholic newspaper who refuses to carry a Gay Pride advert, or a printer who refuses to print those adverts - they will all be criminalized by this Draconian measure. This is as close as you can get to a thought crime
