Delighted to see this! May bigots always be defeated. Let us hope that Lillian Ladele loses her case at the Court of Appeal.
“Failed to accommodate his faith”!
Here we go again.
No, it’s that increasingly society will not accommodate your bigotry, your prejudice, your hate.
Get over it, there’s an easy way, go back to your bible and read about how Jesus accepted everyone without reservation and without discrimination. Then you would have the right to call yourself a “Christian”.
This is incredible, I can’t believe the audacity of some people to see what they can away with! Good for the system that this fool has not been awarded for his ignorance!
I am hugely relieved that Relate’s values have been vindicated. There’s nothing to stop him from going into private practice as a counsellor/therapist. He’d have to put up a footnote on his brass plate saying “NO GAYS”. That might affect how many clients he gets, but one has to suffer for one’s art!
He’s beyond moronic.
Glad to see he lost.
HULLOOOOOO! What planet do these twits come from? I just love the fact that they come with all the religious crap and their beliefs, but they are two faced biggots who are acting in anything but a loving christian manner?!! He who throws the first stone?!!
Umm…as a psycho-sexual counsellor, he must surely have known that he’d be giving advice to unmarried couples, divorced couples etc etc…a lot of couple who weren’t heterosexual & married for the first time. Maybe he should have thought about his career choice before entering into it.
A victory for commonsense. I bet this guy had no problem giving advice to divorcees, etc. LGBT people seem to be a common target of all this ‘Christians are victims’ propaganda. In my opinion, it’s a nasty campaign and I’m glad that the tribunal ruled against this man.
why should he get special rights and special treatment?
As a psychosexual therapist he would have surely have dealt with adulterous couples, incest and a whole range of “sinful” behaviours among his straight couples. So clearly he was being selective in choosing which sin he was comfortable in dealing with. Nothing Christian about this, simple bigotry is all…
Good! It’s a strange form of Christianity that puts intolerance above love.
“Failed to accommodate his faith”!
WHY do people think that their work HAS to do that? Workplace accomodation of special childcare needs, disabilities, are more than enough. Religion is a purely optional, personal, and voluntary choice. Why should employers be required to make any accomodation other than allowing people to take whichever day is their sabbath off.
We’re ‘sinners’? I’d like to see what he called us BEFORE he ‘overcame his predudices’!
praise the Lord. Another christian has been reeducated. I am beginning to think there is a chance for bigoted christians. Maybe we can start a counselling group for intolerant christians and then advertise our successes in the media. HaLLELLUAGHAGH….
More Christian Matryrs
More Christians Bigots
More Christians refusing to do their work
Going to christian for advice??
lol
oh btw Jesus agreed with slavery
I understand that he wants to do specific work in the framework of his beliefs, revolting and as far from Christian though they are.
I just don’t understand what made him think Relate was the place to do that, unless he was either narcissistic enough to think that the rules only apply to other people or in the ways he decides they apply (in which case, counsellor, please get help), or if he was deliberately trying to make a martyr of himself.
Jesus would be proud of Relate: caring for those with serious issues and helping and supporting them to understand and take responsibility for them so that they can be more loving, honest people.
This irksome creature is really a non-person, they are constantly afraid of the future and has no past. If he had a past he would be afraid of that too. If he is a Christian? Then he should know Christ did not die to save People , but to teach people how to save each other!
