I saw something which appalled me on the BBC local news last night, so much so that I’m still extremely pissed off about it. In fact it has been making my blood boil each time I have thought about it all day. I’m sure everyone living in London has come across pedestrian crossings which have been painted in various colours in support of various minorities, such as in the colours of the gay pride or trans pride flags. It’s surely a wonderful way of recognising the city’s diversity and inclusivity. However, as you can read here, a vile bitch in Camden is objecting to one such crossing because she claims it somehow infringes on her rights as a Christian. Suffice to say, I find that so contemptible and arrogant that it makes me want to vomit. How can anyone have the gut-churning audacity to claim that their religious delusions are somehow more important than someone else’s right to express their sexuality or gender identity? It’s like someone starting a campaign to stop Pride taking place every year because they claimed their faith did not tolerate gay people. Frankly I wouldn’t put it past them, and what clearer sign could there be that it was time for society to outgrow such anachronistic, repressive nonsense. If we truly aspire to be an open, tolerant, inclusive society, we cannot allow religious bigots like this to get in the way.
