A Christian postgraduate student has been
expelled from his course, effectively ending his chances of a career as a
social worker, for voicing opposition to gay marriage in a Facebook
discussion.
Felix Ngole, a
38-year-old father of four, expressed support for Kim Davis, the county
clerk from Kentucky in the US who was jailed for refusing to issue
marriage licences after the introduction of same-sex unions in September
last year.
He argued that homosexual activity is against the teaching of the Bible, quoting a verse from Leviticus describing it as an "abomination".
The post, from his private Facebook account, was part of a discussion thread in which other users voiced their opinions on all sides of the debate. It was not until two months later that he was summoned to a disciplinary hearing at Sheffield University after a fellow student complained about his post. He said he was initially not even told what he was accused of doing. He was eventually told that it involved breaching social work guidelines on "personal conduct" and "bringing the profession into disrepute".

The Queen is opposed to same-sex marriage. That won't stop anybody, but God save the Queen!
