Tim Farron has refused to say whether homosexuality is a sin in an excruciating radio interview.
Appearing on LBC, Farron was confronted by a caller on his views of homosexuality and appeared to backtrack on previous comment that it was not sinful.
Brian, from Highgate in London, said to Mr Farron: “You think that homosexuality is a sin, I think that’s a perversion of Christianity, that’s the question I want you to address.”
However Mr Farron refused to answer the question, despite being asked three times.
He responded by discussing his support for LGBT rights and removing the spousal veto for trans people, but refused to address whether or not homosexuality is sinful.
“I’m not asking you about that, what I want to do is find out more about you as a human being, as a person and your religion is a very important part of you as a person while you are standing for this election.
“I want to know why you think homosexuality is a sin.”
Mr Farron replied: “I am a political leader and I am a liberal to my fingertips.”
“Just answer the question about whether it is a sin to be homosexual,” host Nick Ferrari pressed him.
