A yoga instructor has been told she cannot book a church hall because her activity is "not compatible" with the Christian faith ...![]()
Yoga teacher 'barred from Barnstaple church hall hire'
Atsuko Kato, who has used other church halls for classes, said she was "very surprised".www.bbc.co.uk
When she first started teaching yoga 25 years ago, Ms Kato said she had trouble with other Christian organisations and claimed she was told the practice was "a cult".
Par for the course. There have been cases of church halls refusing to host yoga classes because Jesus didn't sit in the lotus position.
Spelling error?What hypocrites! The Christian church is the biggest cult going.
Of course we all know that yoga is the worship of the devil. Stands to reasonPar for the course. There have been cases of church halls refusing to host yoga classes because Jesus didn't sit in the lotus position.
I support freedom of speech. And as such, I support their venue to have the freedom to deny any booking for any reason.
Well, you're getting into the realm of the absurdity.Would you also support doctors and hospitals to have the freedom to deny anyone for any reason?
Schools and universities? Airlines? Public transport? Theatres? Theme parks? Hotels?
And if it's ok to deny gays and lesbians, or Jews, or Blacks, or Europeans, is it also ok to deny their friends, family, coworkers?
Where does it end?
Do you also support lawmakers who want to criminalise us, jail us, hang us?
Well, you're getting into the realm of the absurdity.
It is all about balance. There are certain things that is life and death. Like a doctor treating you regardless of what you are to them.
I'm pretty sure those gheys won't die from not being able to book the venue.
Edit.
I own a business. I would hate to have to cater to nazis or the kkk. I reserve the right to not serve those cretins.
Nazis are people. Gays are people. So, I guess I am comparing gays to nazis.Are you comparing gays to nazis on a gay forum?
Nazis are people with a hatred towards others. Gays are people with an attraction to a same sex. BIG Difference. NOT the same thing. Your reasoning is specious.Nazis are people. Gays are people. So, I guess I am comparing gays to nazis.
Like I said, I don't wanna have to rent to nazis and kkk. And if I reserve this right, I respect other businesses to reserve their right to not serve me because of whatever reason. I will just go elsewhere.
And what will you do when all the other ¨elsewheres¨ won´t serve you either? There is a big difference between renting to a nazi and not being served in a public place because you are gay. We´ve been fighting this fight for quite some time now. Where do you draw the line, after not serving gay people? Blacks? Mexicans? Short people? People with disabilities? People with tattoos?Nazis are people. Gays are people. So, I guess I am comparing gays to nazis.

Well, I'm sorry but I simply don't agree with your sentiment. Free speech is free speech.And what will you do when all the other ¨elsewheres¨ won´t serve you either?

You won´t serve a nazi because they want you dead. Someone being gay or not doesn´t affect you in any way, refusing to serve them is because of hate.
Freedom of speech is meant for everybody, not just the people you like. Who are you to decide who should get this right and who shouldn't?Good thing the nazis you defend are all for free speech, as history shows us, huh?
