PROTESTING PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND OVER CHRISTIAN BASHING

STRATFORD, PEI, May 29, 2001 (LSN.ca) - REAL Women Canada has endorsed a letter writing campaign to the government of Prince Edward Island over the case of Dagmar and Arnost Cepica. The Christian couple who ran a bed-and-breakfast out of their family home were forced to close down their operation and pay a fee to two male homosexuals for refusing to comply with a PEI Human Rights Commission (HRC) order mandating that they allow practicing homosexuals to rent rooms in their home.

Christian freelance journalist Charles Moore has already written the PEI Minister of Tourism to protest the treatment of the Christian couple. Moore suggests that, if the Cepica's can afford it, the denial of their religious freedom could be successfully challenged at the Supreme Court, especially in light of the recent decision regarding Trinity Western University. Moore informs both the Minister and the province's Tourism Industry Association of his decision to boycott visiting PEI and encourage others to do the same "until your province is prepared to uphold religious freedom and the sovereign right of individuals to set moral standards of behavior in their own homes, even if they're in the B&B business."
