An employment tribunal is set to rule on whether a mental health charity in Leeds was right to withdraw a job offer from a Christian social worker who thinks homosexuality is a sin. How can employers - and our legal system - balance the sometimes competing rights of different minority groups? AntiSocial | Listen on BBC Sounds @adamfleming bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
@BBCRadio4 It is mind-boggling how convoluted the ideas about personal rights in today’s society have become. I don’t see a way out of the mess, as much of it is a matter of subjective interpretation 🤷🏻♂️
@BBCRadio4 If this sets a precedent, it will be hard to see how those of other religions and beliefs will get jobs.
@BBCRadio4 Helen Pluckrose isn’t correct there. Deeply held philosophical (non-religious) beliefs are protected in law to the extent that they are not offensive to others.
@BBCRadio4 The charity would have offered a Muslim applicant the job, we all know it. Pure discrimination. x.com/kelvmackenzie/…

@BBCRadio4 If people with MH issues can go online and see that the person involved with them has publicly stated that they oppose whatever minority group they may belong to, then of course they are not suitable for the job. Vulnerable people to feel secure, that they can trust their worker.
@BBCRadio4 The it doesn’t effect my work argument. Maybe true but how far do u it take this? If u say I’m a racist at home but not at work is this ok? I hate Muslims in my spare time but respect them at work? I don’t like homosexuals for religious reasons? Maybe more sensible to keep quiet?
