Police tell Christian: it's a crime to say 'homosexuality is a sin'

Police officers told an open-air preacher in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, it is a criminal offence to identify homosexuality as a sin. They said this to Andy Robertson, even though he had not mentioned homosexuality in his preaching. He was recording his preaching because the local council had been making allegations about the content of his message. The conversation with police officers was caught on tape.

He's basically going around beating people with stick and then complaining when the cops take his stick away

well done Gainsborough council, what gives you the right to direct your hatred at people that are just trying to live their own lives

[Creecherz5]

@27Riverdale So are you against freedom of speech? You are an ignorant bigot!

I'm an ex-homosexual. Yes it is a sin. U cannot.. I repeat cannot.. be gay and a Christian. It's not possible. Too many gays try to justify it. "God made me this way" etc. No He didn't! Its a lie that Satan wants u to believe.

Leviticus 18:22 says it clearly if mankind lies with man they have created an abomination. Homosexuality is a sin. God hates sin but he has forgiveness. Although it is a sin we shouldn't condemn the homosexuals of America. It says so in 1 Corinthians 6:9. Im not gay but I'm certainly not prejudice against homosexuals either.

Being gay,isn't just a sin, its an abomination......vile affections. They should be put to death rightly.

Fuck the Police and FUCK RELIGION! I got many reasons to hate both of them.

According to the bible wearing red is a sin. So is getting devorced. But don't worry; slavery and killing you children is a-ok

[subhankarzac]

Try going out in public and abusing a black guy! U wont, Coz Now the bible doesnt support it even after u try to misinterpret n mistranslate it.

But u can abuse a gay, coz there is still some Christians living in prejudice! N mistranslating the bible to support prejudice for these people re still very common....

Its only a minor penalty for this preacher! A 2 day visit in prison should have been compulsory for this guy!

@27Riverdale Freedom of speech =/= Violent beating. Learn the difference you ass clown.

@desertasophy the principle of freedom of speech is not predicated on whether certain practices are also allowable.
