UK: Political correctness gone mad: Health staff to ask your sexuality

(London)  The mandarins at the British National Health service have decided that in order to conform to the 2010 Equality Act they have decided to get all their Health professionals to ask patients aged 16 or over about their sexual orientation.


The NHS argues that the data is needed to ensure it meets its obligations under said Equality Act and it will help it better tackle health problems that are more prevalent among lesbian, gay and bisexual people. These include sexually transmitted diseases, mental health problems, alcohol and drug dependency and social isolation in old age.


And I thought that when I read the book:'The Forever War' where at the end of the story soldiers on returning to earth find that those people who are heterosexual are sent to camps for reprogramming in which to turn them gay it was simply science fiction and yet 30 years after reading that book, I find the world of today closely resembling the earth that Joe Haldeman envisaged. 


Mind you NHS England has stated that no-one would be forced to answer the question posed but recording the data would ensure that "no patient is discriminated against". yeah right, how long before not answering becomes a fucking hate crime.

Anybody else noticed how the so called victims of yesterday have become the NAZIS of today.
