Morality must be enforced by law
Article Abstract:
Those who oppose the repeal of Section 28 argue that this would lead to the promotion of homosexuality. They justify their argument with two misconceptions: that homosexuality is unnatural and disgusting. This is the viewpoint that led to the introduction of Section 28 in the first place. The regrettable aspect of this latest episode in the struggle for gay equality is that, even when Section 28 is repealed, irrational opposition to homosexuality will persist. There is now a need for sexual orientation discrimination legislation, giving bisexuals, lesbians and gays the same legal protection that is enjoyed by women and racial minorities.
