Victory for Christian demoted over gay marriage comments
A judge has today ruled that bosses at a housing trust were wrong to demote a manager who said gay weddings in churches would be “an equality too far”.
Adrian Smith, a Christian, made the remark on his personal Facebook page, which was not visible to the general public, outside work time.
But bosses at Trafford Housing Trust, near Manchester, took action against Mr Smith saying the comments amounted to ‘gross misconduct’ and could bring the Trust into disrepute.
