Christian Counselor Who Refused to Offer Gay Sex Therapy Loses Case

A Christian marriage counselor in London who lost his job for refusing to provide sex therapy to gay couples lost a discrimination lawsuit on appeal.

Gary McFarlane, 48, was fired from Relate, a marriage counseling service in Bristol, England, in 2008 after refusing to help same-sex couples improve their sex lives because it violated his Christian beliefs.
