Christian social worker Felix Ngole filed a lawsuit for discrimination after a job offer was withdrawn because of his belief that homosexuality is a sin.

After he was offered the job, Ngole was told by recruiter Touchstone Leeds that he must "embrace and promote" homosexuality to be reconsidered for the hospital discharge role, even after being told he was the best candidate for the position.

"I think that is a step too far," he told Fox News Digital. Ngole is now taking his case before an employment tribunal, alleging religious discrimination.

Ngole said he "really wanted the job" so he pushed back on these requirements and requested to meet with Touchstone to discuss the issue further. During that meeting, he reassured them he would not discriminate against anyone. However, he said the discussion turned into a two-hour "interrogation of [his] faith" instead.

"'I hold strong Christian beliefs, of course, I cannot apologize for that. And in the same token, I'm not going to discriminate against your clients. I've worked with this same group of clients before and nobody's ever complained about my practice. I'm qualified. I do my job well, and its unfair that you would withdraw this job offer,'" Ngole recalled telling Touchstone.

But the mental health company reaffirmed their decision to withdraw the job offer.

If he had already had the job and used his religion to mistreat clients, then this would be fair. As it stands, though, it does seem discriminatory.

It doesn't mistreat someone to simply deny that their lifestyle is good.

This is from Fox "News".

That's how I know it never ever happened.

I'm friends with him on Facebook. I had added him after he initially fought to be allowed in a program.

It's a great illustration of how liberalism will eventually end up humping into immigrant and black communities it wishes to protect because it fundamentally clashes with some of their values.
