For Criticizing Gay Marriage, This Man Lost his Managerial Position, Salary Cut by 40%

Mr. Adrian Smith 55,  attends an evangelical Church in Bolton. There are so many prices to be paid as a dedicated christian. What has Mr. Smith done to deserve 40% cut in his salary and loss of Managerial Position in a Housing Enterprise- Trafford Housing Trust. This is because he has dared to be different. He is vocal and does not mince words in criticizing same sex marriage. A lesbian colleague of his set a trap for him to criticize gay marriage on his personal Facebook page. The former Trafford Housing Trust Manager posted a link in his Facebook page to an articles about civil partnership in churches. He commented 'An equality too far' .Then the lesbian colleague questioned whether or not he has disapproval for Gay Marriage.  Then Mr. Smith questioned why people who have not iota of faith and don't believe  in Christ Jesus would want to come to church to regularize their union.

Because  of this comment which some people said was offensive even though it was a  hearsay caused his company to downgrade his position and slash his salary by £40,000. He launched his legal battle just yesterday to reclaim his lost position and his accrued earning of about £4000 for 18 months.
