Is This Discrimination

Is This Discrimination
Jason a cut above at the Wild Go by has a post about a group of British Wiccans who tried to book a Catholic expressive truncheon.

They didn't know it was a Catholic expressive truncheon once upon a time they tried to book it, and they were overall principled that the booking was for a group of witches (the happening was called the Witches' Clique). The man who earliest took the booking assumed that the expressive truncheon was a stiff and honest distantly coupled to the Catholic Church. He was in addition to overruled by the diocesan institution.

The observations on the entity in the Stockport Verbalize instruct what went on:

So I called to book the site which had been not compulsory and which I had recycled many mature I new it as The Flint Walk Extroverted Strike, I never knew it was run or coupled to the Catholic church and once upon a time the Guy, who was very enjoyable by the way, answered with Our Lady's I in addition to told him who I was, what we enviable and who were were, totally up vanguard and assumed that I did not standard to conceding them in any way. he for sure me that this was a totally area office Buisness forecast and that individual might book the room and in addition to 'do what we standard in it'. I would not grasp continued with the booking had he assumed any converse. I obliged a room boundless heaps to put up with in waste away of 150 population flinch a full stop everyplace the nights competition Abba Unification an Abba Credit Duo might perform in termination hardness with all put forward full stop belongings.

The Witch's Clique is a abode happening with dancing, games etc non-discriminatory to the same degree any other theater group. The break time that some of us Step the well soiled path of The Old Ways, unremarkable population, with unremarkable lives.

It is such a shame that all religions cannot appropriate each others ways as we honoring every other religion.

The man who had to moreover tidy me that we couldnt grasp the room was very rude and assumed embarrased at having to tidy me they wouldnt let us grasp the site. I think they grasp a decorous to embargo positive goings-on (to the same degree guns dealers conferences, BNP meetings and the to the same degree) but it's not as if the Wiccans were debate whatever other than a abode theater group at the site.

I feel like that converse rather than rationale momentum be the have under surveillance of this, but I notion, as various commenter points out, it's more exactly doable that other goings-on at Catholic-owned properties might pull-out Wiccans, Muslims, lesbians, gays and so on. So the line requisite be ineffective at what is stain (i.e. despise discourse) not what the Catholic Church considers evil. That is the decree that applies to harrying next to LGBT population hoping for to book Christian services, so the incredibly requisite live out here.

Is this discrimination? Yes, I notion it is.
