✣ Lib Dem leader under fire over beliefs
What happened? The Christian leader of the Liberal Democrats, Tim Farron, has come under fire for appearing to dodge the question of whether he thinks same-sex acts are sinful. Several interviewers have asked him whether he believes gay sex is a sin; Farron has said he will not answer because it is a matter of private belief. He has also been asked about the matter in the House of Commons. Asked whether he though being gay was a sin, he replied: “No, I don’t,” and pointed to his record of voting for LGBT rights.
