It’s official: Criticising gays is allowed

! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.

An elderly Christian couple who wrote to their council criticising it for wasting taxpayers money promoting homosexuality have been paid compensation for the police investigation that followed.

The couple believe that homosexuality is a sin and wrote to their council telling them that they were offended by their council tax being spent on promoting homosexuality and asking for christian leaflets to be placed alongside gay rights leaflets.  The council refused and reported the couple to the police for homophobia.  Two police officers interviewed the couple for an hour on their views on homosexuality.

The couple sued the council and the police but came to an out of court settlement covering their £40k legal bills and £10k compensation which they have donated to charity.
