‘Homophobic’ judge to marry gay British couple

‘Homophobic’ judge to marry gay British couple

Laura Alabau.

A JUDGE who has repeatedly refused to marry same-sex couples has been forced to wed two British men.
Laura Alabau has been away from her post in the court of Dénia for some months and a temporary judge has been handling her cases, say court sources.
They have not revealed whether she has been suspended from duties or is off work for personal reasons.
Alabau first caused hackles to rise in the Marina Alta in early 2006 when she refused to marry two women, who later called off their wedding altogether due to the emotional trauma of the situation.
She tried to claim their wedding was ‘unconstitutional’, despite Spanish law having allowed such unions since Spring 2005. Next, she has denied the rights of at least two gay British couples to wed, claiming their country of origin does not recognise such unions. Despite being fined 305 euros by the Ministry of Justice – a sum that the gay community considered to be ‘insulting’ and ‘a token figure’ – Laura Alabau continued to refuse to perform same-sex weddings. The British community in the Marina Alta accused her of ‘double discrimination’ and a leading gay association, branded her ‘homophobic’ and called for her to resign for ‘allowing her personal prejudices to affect her work’. Alabau claims she is a victim of persecution and is being used as a ‘vehicle for propaganda’. But a disciplinary ruling this week means that she will shortly be forced to carry out a marriage ceremony for a British couple in Dénia court, for the first time since the law was passed.

Zionists have put these laws in addition to feminist to destroy family and to attack straight males in order to control the world with their banks, and here is how we all live now in economic and social crisis because of those dominant people.

If you really democratic let me eress my opinions about them freely, they are not god or above the democracy.

They should have kicked her off the bench. Justice is supposed to be blind, not ignorant!

Judges, like everyone else, can have their personal views. What they CANNOT do is impose them above the law.

Their precise role is to carry out the law of the land as put forward by those democratically elected.

She is NOONE to go against the sovereign will of the people. She should either resign if she has a prickly conscience (if she's depriving others of their rights on the basis of how strongly she feels, the presumption is that this is a major personal issue for her and so therefore what she really ought to do is give up work) or just accept that, as a judge, she is merely a servant of the law.

Society does not need homophobes of whatever colour.
