    Christian Concern says homosexuality isn’t right

    The organisation which runs a lobby, publisher, legal clinic and academy have used Twitter to “choose hate”.

    The organisation which runs a book publisher, legal centre and lobby has used twitter to attack the LGBT+ community.

    Christian Concern, the organisation which is currently supporting actor Seyi Omooba sue her former agency and a theatre after a backlash against a “homophobic” Facebook post she posted in 2014, took to their official Twitter to claim that “homosexuality is not right”.

    On the 30th September 2019 Christian Concern took to Twitter to write,

    “Homosexual practice is not right. Jesus is Lord. True love speaks. #MondayMotivation #TrueLoveSpeaks“

    The post was met with a swift reaction, with many joking that “practice makes perfect”.

    A user called, Becky, blasted the organisation for choosing hate.

    Another user questioned, “Why do so-called “Christians” get so hung up about gay sex? Seems an odd thing to focus on when there’s so much more bad stuff going in in the world (like mindless shootings, racism, xenophobia and the like) where people are actually getting hurt. Maybe sort your priorities?”

    And another added, “Nonsense. There’s no place in the future for silly people and idiotic dogma like this. Your ideas will die out. Thank god.”

    The organisation which is funded, in part, by the charity Faith, Truth and Hope often uses social media to comment on LGBT+ legal issues, as well as abortion and legal issues surrounding Christianity.

    Actor Seyi Omooba to sue theatre and agency after “homophobic” facebook post backlash

    The actor who was dropped from a production of The Color Purple after the discovery of a Facebook post, in which she said she didn’t think homosexuality was correct, is suing the theatre company and her agency.

    Seyi Omooba was dumped from the production of The Color Purple after a Facebook post from 2014 in which she said that she did “not believe homosexuality is right” and that she didn’t people were born gay.

    The Facebook post from 2014, went viral earlier this year when actor Aaron Lee shared a screenshot on Twitter saying Omooba owed an explanation to the gay community for her words.

    She refused to appologise for the post, in which she wrote, that she does not believe people “can be born gay”.

    She added, “I do not believe homosexuality is right, though the law of this land has made it legal doesn’t mean its [sic] right.”

    At the time, Curve and Birmingham Hippodrome released a statement saying that Omooba “will no longer be involved with the production” after admitting that the post had “caused significant and widely expressed concerns”.

    The actor is now suing the Curve Theatre in Leicester and her agency Global Artists saying that her career is in ruins after the backlash against her.

    Christian Concern released a video saying that Seyi had in a “cruel turn of events… found herself in uncharted waters”
