Christian Concern for our Nation is calling on Christians to take action after the Government outlined its pro-homosexual agenda this week.
Minister for Women and Equalities Theresa May set out plans on Wednesday to tackle prejudice against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in all aspects of life, including education, the workplace, the criminal justice system and international rights.
The announcement signals the coalition Government’s intention to continue the work of promoting homosexuality started under the previous Government and will see it take up Labour’s drive to allow same-sex couples to register their relationships in a religious setting.
May also said that the Government would work to remove historical convictions for consensual gay sex from criminal records and lobby other countries to repeal ‘homophobic’ legislation and recognise UK civil partnerships.
CCFON said the Government’s pro-homosexual agenda was “aggressive” and “radical”.
In new guidelines drawn up to help Christians respond to the Government’s plans, CCFON accused the Government of adopting a “highly misleading and even manipulative” use of the word ‘homophobic’.
“It gives the impression that any opposition to homosexual activity is driven by phobia, widely understood to be ‘irrational fear’,” it said.
