Business Leader Says "Christians who Defend Marriage are Evil"

Country: United Kingdom

Date of incident: December 20, 2011


“I’m…campaigning against evil Christians (that’s not all Christians, just bad ones) who think that gay people should not lead happy lives and get married to their same-sex partners,” said Nick Lansley, TESCO Head of Research and Development for the Tesco website.

Tesco has lately withdrawn its support to cancer research and sponsor the Gay Pride Day in London.
