Hate the Sin, Fire the Sinner
Just when you thought Human Rights Tribunals have had their day in court, or not in court, as the case actually is, along comes Christian Horizons, a publicly funded community living service provider:
I don't really want my tax dollars funding religious organizations, but, waddaryagonnadoo - they do. But the fact that they benefit from my hard earned tax dollars, means that they are not allowed to discriminate in their hiring practices based on the sexual orientation of their employees. No give, no take - or face the consequences when taken to an obviously still very necessary (thanks to religion) Human Rights Commission for discrimination.
Yabbut, what kind of consequences really ensue for Christian Horizons, you might ask? Well, rightly so, since we, the hardworking taxpayers, fund not just Christian Horizons, but the Human Rights Commission it has been taken to for discrimination, as well as the payout to the fired employee(s) (because this isn't the first time Christian Horizons has been taken before a Human Rights Commission for discrimination).
So, maybe in the interest of fairness for families, Christian Horizons should be fired from the public payroll so we don't have to pay its fine every time it ends up before a HRC for ignoring a fundamental Canadian right to employment regardless of sexual orientation.
