Couple sue council over police interrogation
Date: Mar 17

A CHRISTIAN couple are suing their local Council and police force for breaching their human rights after they were interrogated by police over their belief that homosexual practise is wrong.
Joe Roberts, 73, and his wife Helen, 68, from Fleetwood in Lancashire, were reported to the police for making a complaint about the gay rights policy of Wyre Borough Council. They questioned the bid to improve equality, part of which would see gay lifestyle magazines distributed around staff areas.

The Council told the police that they had displayed “potentially homophobic attitudes” and asked the police to “educate” the retired couple out of their beliefs. In a letter to the Council, Mr Roberts said: “If gay people made the decision not to think gay, they would not act gay."
