It's not unusual for Christians to defend a Biblical ethic of sexuality including the sinfulness of homosexuality, the importance of marriage between a man and a woman only or that sex should be reserved for marriage only. However many are finding that the public voicing of those opinions could result in them being fired from their jobs.
One case that is currently working it's way through the courts in the United Kingdom is the case of 26-year-old Christian actress, Seyi Omooba. Omooba lost her job in a theatre production of "The Color Purple" last year over a 2014 Facebook post in which she wrote that she did "not believe homosexuality is right" and people were "not born gay".
The Christian legal center is defending Omooba and said "this story sends a chilling message to Christians, not only in the theatre profession but across our society, that if you express and hold mainstream biblical views, you will be punished and will lose your career if you do not renounce your beliefs".
A Tribunal will hear her case in February of 2021 to determine if this was an act of religious discrimination.
