Marriage referendum ‘No’ campaigner Keith Mills

Keith Mills, one of the leading opponents of marriage equality was on the Matt Cooper show on TodayFM yesterday.
Mr Mills, who is gay, was defending the so-called conscience clause in which Christians taking a particular interpretation of the Bible might be allowed discriminate against gay people. The discussion moved on to garage owners refusing to sell petrol to women because they believe, on religious grounds, that women shouldn’t drive; e.g. hardline Muslims….
Matt Cooper: “So if somebody believes, – here is the example that I use, Keith – and we know this is a tenet of a particular interpretation of some world religions, of some of the largest religions in the world – if someone believes that it is against their religion to allow a woman to drive a car, do you think in Irish law their religious conviction should be allowed then to discriminate, to refuse to provide that woman with goods and services related to the driving of a car.”
Keith Mills: “No, because…”
Cooper: “But why?”
Mills: “Because a man and a woman are equal.”
Cooper: “No, no, but that’s your view. You’re now disagreeing with the deeply held religious conviction of somebody who believes that a woman should not be permitted to drive a car and that’s their deeply held religious conviction.”
Mills: “As I said, it would vary depending on the circumstances.”
Cooper: “So it varies depending on what you believe, not on what other people believe.”
Mills: “I’ve outlined where I am on this thing. If they are the owners of a monopoly, and they are the only person that can provide petrol in a neighbourhood, then I think they……if on the other hand, 500 yards down the road, there’s another petrol station, you can go to that one.”

Nobody wants him.
The slobbery goofball.

Galway SPCA looking for a forever home for a cuddly and goofy dog Bane who happens to have a rather fearsome-looking face. He’s been in their kennels for almost 2 years now…I especially like the photo of him looking pathetic at the lady.
Two years.
Galway SPCA add:
Yet again we are sharing Bane in a desperate plea to find him a forever home….20 months now he has sat in a kennel…20 months hoping …20 months of making us smile every day with his clown-like antics….
Since his last posting Bane has been doing a lot of work around other dogs and been enjoying the interaction. Loveable….affectionate….funny….All he wants is someone to love and to love him back…Is that too much to ask?
Evidently.
Anyone?
