The commercialisation of sexual politics is wrong

[rlvaughn]

3 reasons why the commercialisation of sexual politics is wrong by David Robertson, minister of St Peters Free Church in Dundee Scotland.

It reflects three negative attitudes in our general cultural psyche – pride, phobia and parochialism.

...the fear of being called homophobic – that has become the ultimate crime, the blasphemy against the Holy State. Your political, academic, media, legal or business career is over if you are tried and found guilty of the sin of homophobia in the court of public opinion and the social media mob is let loose on you.

Let’s just take the example of Costa telling us that their aim is to enable their employees to have “courage and pride in who they are”. Does this apply to Christians too? Would Costa employees be allowed to wear crosses or ‘Jesus loves you’ t-shirts? Will Costa be giving out cups with Bible verses on them? Will the Corporations and Universities be inviting Christian experts in to train their workforce in rejecting anti-Christian prejudice? Will the government be providing millions to the Evangelical Alliance, the Church of England and the Catholic Church to combat Christophobia? The fact that the very idea is laughable indicates that ‘equality and diversity’ in contemporary society is neither equal nor diverse.
