The Court led that to the extent that Article 209 of the Crimal Co embodied a predisposed bias on the part of a heterosexual majory agast a homosexual mory, such negative attus uld not of themselv be nsired by the Court to amount to sufficient jtifitn for the differential treatment any more than siar negative attus towards those of a different: race, orig or lor. The Court relled that s judgments the above-ced s of Ltig-Prean and Beckett (§§ 63-68 and 80-105) and Smh and Grady (§§ 70-75 and 87-112) found that the vtigatn of the applints' sexual orientatn, and their discharge om the armed forc on the grounds of their homosexualy pursuant to the absolute policy of the Mistry of Defense agast the prence of homosexuals the armed forc, nstuted direct terferenc wh the applints' right to rpect for their private liv which uld not be jtified unr the send paragraph of Article 8 of the Conventn as beg "necsary a mocratic society".
