Human Rights Commissions: but who’s rights

A Calgary bishop stands up for his (and my) beliefs, and gets hauled in front of the Alberta Human Rights commission. But who’s rights are at stake? Two openly gay people have been offended, and decided to file a complaint. Unfortunately for the Bishop Fred Henry and the rest of us Christian Canadians, the odds are pretty good that the “Human Rights Tribunal” (should be renamed to “Minority Rights Tribunal”) will rule against the defense. A good write-up can be found here. And before you think this is right-wing nonsense, the National Post has a 2/3 page article on page A18 of today’s paper.
