Law, Religion and Homosexuality: book launch and talk Free wine reception Speakers: Terry Sanderson, President of the National Secular Society Paul Johnson, University of York Robert Vanderbeck, University of Leeds Why can organised religions lawfully discriminate against people in employment on the grounds of their sexual orientation? Why can religious organisations legally refuse to provide gay men and lesbians with goods and services that are available to other people? How have religious groups contributed to shaping the National Curriculum to exclude explicit reference to homosexuality and same-sex relationships? Why do state-funded schools continue to have a right to teach about same-sex relationships according to their particular religious ethos?
