I understand the proffesional aspect to a degree, I wouldn't consider disagreeing with same sex marriage as unprofessional to that extent though. I think allowing people freedom of expression to be most important. That applies to expressing sexuality or expressing outdated views too. Repression isn't good in any form. I would agreed with you however, tzijlstra explanation is quite compelling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
leviathan13 Â Â 332 #374 Posted March 12, 2019 He may disapprove of gay marriage and be all Christian and stuff, believing the crap in the Bible... Â But, what if he was actually able to put that aside for his job and help people whose lifestyle he disagreed with? Â I get paid to help people from all backgrounds, whether i believe in their life choices/religion/political leanings etc. or not. Â I personally disagree with the geezer's beliefs, as i'm atheist and everything, but it doesn't mean that, whilst on the clock, i don't think he wouldn't help those he has chosen to help.

But in actual fact, how many social workers are involved in same sex marriage or gay relationship cases? Is it so relevant?

MAC33   10 #377 Posted March 13, 2019 So the guy is being booted out of university for writing a anti gay Facebook post.  I watch House Hunters International nearly every single day.  Around one in three or one in four of their couples are gay.  Blatant anti heterosexual programming when you consider the percentage of gays in the community.  Where is the outrage or calls for the channels to lose their licence for broadcasting such anti heterosexual material?

A social worker working with kids will be with predominantly heterosexual parents, and often sole parents. Why do you think most social workers would be working with gay marriage cases?

MAC33 Â Â 10 #382 Posted March 13, 2019 "The former student has previously told the university that, regardless of his beliefs, he does not discriminate against gay people. His appeal argues that victims are protected in law and so limits on freedom of expression cannot be justified on the grounds of a hypothetical risk." Â Hypothetical risk.......pre crime division Shieffield University. Â Is Shieffield University privately owned or Govt owned?
