The government cannot pick and choose which equality rights to respect. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1798519\" data-originallang=\"en\">The minister should admit that it was wrong to censor out this fundamental right or tell us whose rights are next on the Conservative chopping block: women, visible minorities, the disabled? Whose rights are next?</p>",
