By Alliance Alert

The Christian Institute: "Free speech laws that allow people to express their opinions about homosexual conduct should be scrapped, Labour leadership hopeful Ed Miliband says . . . His extraordinary comments appear in an opinion article he wrote for the homosexual website, Pink News." Exerpt from Milband's Pink News commentary: "I also wish we'd succeeded in changing the law to make incitement to homophobic hate a crime. I was angry when I saw the House of Lords force through a 'freedom of speech' opt-out to our legislation and I think along with many others I felt there could be no better argument for why the House of Lords and our politics needs reform. Homophobic attacks are on the increase, such as the vicious murder of Ian Baynham, beaten to death in our capital city."
