Canadian Tribunal: Knights of Columbus Entitled to Deny Lesbian Wedding Reception

Even in getting it right Canada gets it wrong:

Vancouver — The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal ruled yesterday that a Roman Catholic men's group, the Knights of Columbus, was entitled to turn away a lesbian couple who wanted to hold a wedding reception in their facility.

But in a decision that upset both sides in the dispute, the three-member tribunal also decided that the Catholic group had affronted the same-sex couple's dignity, feelings and self-respect, and that it should pay $2,000 to the two women to compensate for their injuries.

The tribunal upheld the religious freedom of the Knights of Columbus while reinforcing protections against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

My Comments:
Hey Catholics, you're allowed to practice your religious beliefs regarding homosexuality, just so long as you pay this "human rights" tribute in order to be entitled to do so. After all, we can't have you "affronting the dignity" of homosexuals.

In the Islamic world, this is known as "dhimmitude". Christians are allowed to practice their religion, but must pay tribute in order to do so. After all, Islam can't allow those Christians to "affront the dignity" of Allah and his prophet Mohammed.
