Fiji Methodist Church Denied Right to Protest

From the Fiji Times:

THE Methodist Church's third application for a protest march against homosexuality has been rejected.

Commissioner Central Inoke Devo rejected the application, which was lodged by the church last Friday.

The Methodist Church had intended to march against homosexuality this Saturday in Suva and other centres around the country.

Mr Devo said even though the application filed by the Suva Methodist circuit was worded differently from that filed by the Rewa circuit, it would still encourage discrimination against gays.

"It therefore follows that such a march is likely to encourage discriminatory conduct against members of the gay community or is likely to incite or arouse feelings of hatred, contempt, enmity or fear in the society," he said.

Thank God I live in America where such things do not happen (often) -- and may He bring the blessings of liberty to every other nation on earth.
