Not all lawyers agree that gay rights are being violated in this case. Not all Christians agree a true expression of Christianity is being extended in this case. But at the core of this fight, this is not an argument over what kind of sex students should or shouldn\u2019t be allowed to have.<\/p>\n
What we\u2019re really fighting over is the right to diversity. Lost in the fireworks of this case is that Canadian students choose TWU and its Covenant because it reflects their identity. Mr. Ruby\u2019s and the Law Societies fight imply that such identity can\u2019t be trusted in their definitions of public life.<\/p>\n
\u201cWithin the confines of religion, the most inane nonsense can be believed and practiced and passed on to one\u2019s children. That\u2019s freedom of religion, have a nice time. But when you go to the government and say I want your approval for this, I want tax status for this, then it\u2019s beyond mere freedom of religion, there has to be a primacy for the right to equality,\u201d\u009d Mr. Ruby said.<\/p>\n
