Doctor Hans-Christian Raabe
Government drugs man sacked over views on homosexuality
7 February 2011
Doctor Hans-Christian Raabe has been dismissed from the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs because he did not inform officials about his views on homosexuality.
In a paper entitled Gay Marriage and Homosexuality: Some Medical Comments, Dr Raabe specifically linked homosexuality to paedophilia.
In the paper, which was published in 2005, Doctor Raabe said:
“While the majority of homosexuals are not involved in paedophilia, it is of grave concern that there is a disproportionately greater number of homosexuals among paedophiles and an overlap between the gay movement and the movement to make paedophilia acceptable.”
During his interview for the position and when asked whether there was anything in his professional history which might cause embarrassment to either the Government or the Advisory Council, Doctor Raabe did not make his views on homosexuality known.
Denying that his views had any relevance to his role of a governmental drugs advisor, Doctor Raabe told the Daily Mail:
“I have been discriminated against because of my opinions and beliefs which are in keeping with the teachings of the major churches.
“This sets a dangerous precedent: Are we saying that being a Christian is now a bar to public office?”
