against fundamental rights
The station, which is owned by the Episcopal Conference, has a conservative editorial line against gay marriage. Quintairos came to justice by ensuring that she was being discriminated against because of their sexual orientation and have worked for the BNG, which in his opinion is "violating fundamental rights."
Back to
court justice ruled in favor of the journalist and the COPE forced to repay it in place and in the same working conditions enjoyed, something that took effect last Thursday. However, this Monday, Quintairos received a new letter of dismissal "for objective reasons" and a check worth more than 32,000 euros. The journalist will carry the radio from the bishops to court.
More homophobia homophobia
This sample is not new on the COPE. The attacks of their speakers to homosexuals are constant, and government officials involved with this option, as Pedro Zerolo often often targets of criticism, for example, Losantos and commentators. This speaker and Cristina López Schlichting came to win the award the most homophobic in the Gay Pride Day in 2006. Schlichting, in particular, has come to ensure that homosexuality " be cured."
