WINNIPEG, Manitoba, January 29, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Two lesbians, who are legally "married" in Canada, have filed a complaint against Dr. Kamelia Elias with the Manitoba Human Rights Commission and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba, alleging she discriminated against them for suggesting they find a physician who has experience with homosexuals.

Dr. Elias, who practiced medicine in Egypt before coming to Canada, was approached last week by the two women who were looking for a doctor after having moved to Winnipeg from Yellowknife.

After discovering that the two were homosexuals, Dr. Elias told them that though homosexuality was incompatible with her religious beliefs, she had never had occasion to treat lesbians during her twenty years as a physician, and suggested they seek someone with more experience. the rest
