Christians who want to be exempt from equality legislation are like Muslims trying to impose sharia on Britain, Trevor Phillips, the human rights watchdog, has declared.

Object to any thing legislated in the name of "equality" and you are equivalent to an Islamic radical seeking to impose sharia.
What this goes to show is the utter vapidity of modern Englishmen.
Call me old fashioned but you cannot make male/male or female/female pairings to be in any way equalivalent to the time honoured male/female union with the stroke of the legislators pen.
To be sure you can use the power of the courts to bully people into submission as happened to 72 year old Peter Bull and his wife Rosemary but that does not make black white.
This is actually the secular version of sharia at work, not freedom of conscience - which is a fundamental tenet of Christianity funnily enough.
