Liberal agenda ? From the European Charter of Fundamental Rights - 1. Any discrimination based on any ground such as sex, race, colour, ethnic or social origin, genetic features, language, religion or belief, political or any other opinion, membership of a national minority, property, birth, disability, age or sexual orientation shall be prohibited. If you really believe, as Buttiglione apparently does, that homosexuality is a sin and that marriage is an insitution designed for women to have children with the protection of a man and that all single mothers are bad mothers then you really shouldn't be representing an organisation that supports the apparently despised liberal values of fairness and equality for all. And yes, if that isn't being a bigoted right-wing fundamentalist, what is ? Though obviously these are not values everyone would despise.
