In the UK, it is now established that if a religious leader declares that homosexuality is a sin he can expect to be investigated for suspicions of terrorism and then fired. That’s what has allegedly happened to Rev. Bernard Randall of Derbyshire, England, who was fired from his job at a boarding school after the UK Government put him on a terror watchlist over his statements in a lecture defending the religious right to not ‘accept’ homosexuality.

Holding to the biblical definition of male and female has cost the Rev. Bernard Randall his job.
Randall served as chaplain of Trent College, a day and boarding school in Derbyshire, England, for four years. He delivered a sermon to students on the topic of gender identity in 2019.
“So, all in all, if you are at ease with ‘all this LGBT stuff,’ you’re entitled to keep to those ideas,” Randall said in his sermon, adding, “if you are not comfortable with it, for the various—especially religious—reasons, you should not feel required to change.”
Despite Randall’s clear statement that “no one should be discriminated against simply for who he or she is,” Trent College suspended the chaplain for the sermon, reported him to England’s counterterrorism watchdog organization, and subsequently dismissed him.
