Religion no excuse for denying rights

By NUNATSIAQ NEWS

I cannot believe that in this day and age, given the level of intelligence and access to education and information, that the rights afforded to an individual would be determined by their sexual preference.

I feel that religion or religious beliefs should not be used as an argument against the rights given to private people.

I feel that religious bodies don’t have the right to stand in judgement of anyone given the damage that some of these so-called religious leaders have inflicted on innocent people.

People should be treated as human beings first and foremost and be judged by what they do and not who they choose to spend their time with.
