Christian politician regrets saying gay sex is not a sin
A former leading British politician voiced his “regret” last week at having said in 2017 that homosexual sex was not sinful, betraying his Christian beliefs . Tim Farron , an evangelical Christian , resigned as the leader of the Liberal Democrat Party in 2017 after months of journalists and politicians demanding to know his beliefs about homosexual sex. Farron finally responded to a question in Parliament as to whether or not he thought homosexuality was a sin with “I do not.” In April 2017, he told the British Broadcasting Commission ( BBC ), “I don’t believe gay sex is a sin.” But he did - he simply folded. Farron told interviewers at Premier Christian Radio that he had found himself in a situation in which “I either had to be compromising my faith, frankly, saying things I thought were not true, or be true to my faith and be in a situation where I sucked all the attention that ought to be going to me being the mouthpiece of the party, away from our main message.”
