The gay humanist charity the
Pink Triangle Trust (PTT) – owner of this blog – has given a warm welcome to
the award given by the UK National Secular Society to human rights campaigner
Peter Tatchell.
In his speech of acceptance at
the award ceremony to an audience that included prominent scientists,
journalists and writers, Tatchell said: “Worldwide, organised religion is the
single greatest threat to human rights, especially to the rights of women, LGBT
people, atheists and minority faiths. Religious-inspired dogmas persecute
Christians in Pakistan, Sunni Muslims in Iran, Shia Muslims in Bahrain and
Jewish people in much of the Middle East.”
The PTT Secretary George
Broadhead commented: “This is precisely what LGBT humanists and secularists,
including groups like the Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association and the PTT,
have been saying for years.
