The Obama administration has intervened on behalf of an openly homosexual teenager in a bullying lawsuit against his high school – and the Justice Department is claiming a law meant to ban sex discrimination also protects homosexual students from intolerance based on sexual orientation.
"They are making up a legal violation where there hasn't been one," Clegg said. "If the Civil Rights Division and the Obama administration want to propose that Title IX be amended to include sexual orientation, that's something they can do and that can be debated in Congress. But Congress has not passed a law that deals with discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation."

Government policy now targeting 'homophobia'
"Furthermore, the policy laments, 'It is still possible to hear people say that homosexuality is an illness, morally wrong or a form of deviant behavior, and that people choose their sexual orientation. These beliefs, often instilled in the past, tend to marginalize sexual minority groups and prevent full recognition of their social equality.'
Such 'prejudice,' the policy affirms, must be combated.
And while the word 'church' is never explicitly mentioned in the policy, it does declare it important to publicize the most 'insidious' forms of homophobia with a plan to 'target the various locations in which homophobic attitudes and behavior patterns, as well as heterosexist stereotypes, are found.'
The policy also warns, 'It will be necessary to deal with the heterosexist values on which some institutional practices are founded.'"

Human rights gagged MI5 over Abdulmutallab - Times Online#cid=OTC-RSS&attr=797084
MI5 failed to alert America to intelligence highlighting the extremist links of the Detroit plane bomber because of concerns about breaching his human rights and privacy.
The spy agency withheld its files on Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab from Washington until after the near-catastrophic Christmas Day attack because of guidance from its legal department.
MI5 has privately conceded that as early as 2006 its surveillance operations had picked up “multiple communications” between the 23-year-old Nigerian student and suspected terrorists in Britain.
