UK Amendment: Made it a Criminal Offence to Link Homosexuality to Paedophilia
Hilary White reports on LifeSiteNews.com:
A bill that was being examined in the House of Lords that proposes to make it a crime to draw any connection between homosexuality and paedophilia, has been ruled unnecessary and dropped. An amendment to the Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill sought to create a new offence of incitement to hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation.
The amendment was withdrawn after the Lords decided that current provisions of the hate crimes laws are sufficient. Lord Hunt of Kings Heath, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Ministry of Justice, concluded, “When an allegation is considered to be threatening and with intent to stir up hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation, the existing rules would support a conviction that this renders the amendment unnecessary.”
