Governance by Sex

I was reading an article the other day about the city of London "disciplining" some London firemen who refused to hand out flyers at a Gay parade. Someone commenting on the story, a Stewart Cowan of Stranraer, made a comment that struck me as a sharp observation. He wrote:

When a man’s conscience can be overruled by the sexual whims of another man, we are all in deep, deep trouble.
