Tim Farron: I regret saying ‘gay sex isn’t a sin’
from The Christian Institute:
Tim Farron, the former Liberal Democrat leader, says he was foolish to say homosexual sex is not a sin.
Farron said he tried to ‘push away’ the controversy over his views during the last General Election by “giving an answer that, frankly, was not right”.
In an interview with Premier Christian Radio, he criticised current society which is “tolerant of everything, apart from the things that we don’t like”.
Impossible
During the election campaign, Farron faced repeated questioning over his beliefs on homosexual sex.
After side-stepping the subject, in April last year he eventually told the BBC that it was not sinful.
After the election he resigned, saying he had found it “impossible” to hold to the Bible’s teaching while leading the Lib Dems.
