Documentary on Campus

The award winning documentary "For the Bible Tells Me So", which explores the tension between religious groups and the equality rights of members of the gay and lesbian community, will be screened on campus next week, Wednesday November 16, at 12:00, in the Kansas Room in the Memorial Union. There will also be a "faith panel" of local religious leaders to discuss the same issue the following evening, same place, at 18:00 hrs. While not about international law per se, the equality rights of homosexuals, and the manner in which religious groups have worked to deny recognition and protection of those rights in various countries and within international organisations, is a very live issue within the domain of international human rights law.
