The Right [sic] of left handed people.

I just read South Africa's new Civil Union Act, which makes provision for gay couples to marry. In the Preamble, it says:

AND WHEREAS section 9(3) of the Constitution provides that the state may not unfairly discriminate directly or indirectly against anyone on one or more grounds, including [...]"

Then in the Section "Formula for solemnisation of marraige or civil partnership", under 11(2) it reads: "...and thereupon the parties must give each other the right hand...". And further down in 11(3) it makes provision for those with physical disabilities to be excluded from this right-hand ceremony.

ERM.. HELLO??.. EXCUSE ME!!! But what about non-physically disabled left handed people??? Does this not discriminate???!!! HAHAHA! I'm just waiting to hose myself on seeing some "Right [pun intended] of left handed people" lobby group challenge that.

A revised reading of the bill will have to make provisions so that a marraige officer may not have to be compelled to wed people offering their left hand to one another, lest those from that other extremist superstition think they are giving each other a hand full of shit.
