Catholic takes union to Human Rights Commission

He writes that as a Catholic, he could not participate in PSAC’s ‘advocacy of same-sex marriage’ which ‘political agenda’ he says, ‘in addition to being an affront to Catholics, goes way beyond the union’s objective of advancing worker’s rights.’

“PSAC has also adopted a position of ‘zero tolerance’ for what it terms ‘heterosexism,’ which the union describes as ‘the presumption that everyone is heterosexual and that heterosexuality is superior to other forms of loving.’

“This position on ‘heterosexism,’ MacDonald said, places him in the position of being at risk of violating the union’s policy in any attempt he might make to defend his religious rights. ‘This has created an untenable situation,’ he said, ‘and a stressful and at times, hostile, work environment.'”
