Court UK bus co discriminated against Franklin Graham

The court emphatically affirmed that Christians and people of other faiths who hold and publicly express traditional religious views about marriage and human sexuality are entitled to protection under the law

Blackpool was ruled to have been in violation of the Equality Act 2010 in discriminating against the Festival specifically because of the religious views of Franklin Graham The court found that Blackpool also interfered with the Lancashire Festival of Hopes rights of freedom of expression without justification
