A Christian nursery nurse, who was sacked after airing her views on homosexuality and marriage in answer to a question from a homosexual colleague, won a discrimination claim against her former employer on 4 June.
Sarah Mbuyi was fired from her job at a nursery in West London after having a conversation with a homosexual colleague in which she explained the biblical position on homosexuality and marriage.
On 6 January 2014, her colleague at the nursery initiated the conversation and had asked whether she would be welcomed at church and whether God would approve of her civil partnership and allow her to marry in church. Sarah said that: ‘God is not okay with what you do… but everyone is a sinner and God offers forgiveness’. Miss Mbuyi recalled: ‘When I said “No, God does not condone the practice of homosexuality, but does love you and says you should come to him as you are”, she became emotional and went off to report me to my manager.’
