Proceeding contribution from Lord Tebbit (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 9 January 2007. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Equality Act (Sexual Orientation) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006.
Equality Act (Sexual Orientation) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006
My Lords, let me put it another way for the noble Lord. He is supporting legislation tonight that would make it possible for two young men—chavs, shall we call them perhaps—to go with their girlfriends into a gay bar and then claim that they had been discriminated against or humiliated by the remarks or behaviour of people in that gay bar. Is that what we want to come out of this? It is not what I want to come out of this, but that is what will be the effect of it and that is why I object to it.
