I think a good comparison would be where we see the removal of section 176 would equate religious services to be no different from a university lecture. I think it's common knowledge that in universities across the country today, there have been many examples of lectures or public demonstrations or big public speeches where people are shouted down because they disagree with the opinions being expressed. If we remove section 176, I submit that religious services will be treated the same way, where people who disagree with what's happening in that religious service are allowed to shout down what's happening there. We've seen that happen multiple times, particularly in the Roman Catholic faith, which I'm not a member of, but I've seen that happen in many cathedrals, where people disagree with the position of the church on political or equality grounds perhaps, or whatever, and so they feel they're entitled to disturb that religious worship. Without section 176 that would increase; it wouldn't decrease.
