Is BDSM a belief system? Should it be protected in the workplace?

The Guardian I agree with the judge in this case, no one can comment on or deny your lifestyle but wearing a collar as a nurse is a complicated issue because of the sexual aspect. Would I say the same if I gay woman wanted to wear a 'lesbian' symbol around her neck? I don't know. I'm conflicted.

Indeed, not so long ago an Employment Tribunal held that it was acceptable for Virgin Trains to dismiss a Muslim member of catering staff for refusing to serve alcohol.

I have no problem with people enjoying BDSM, even to the extent that they sell themselves into slavery, but there's a time and a place for it. Wearing a collar to work as a midwife is neither the time nor the place. It's bloody unprofessional.
