UK: Free speech victory over ‘homosexual hatred’ law

The Christian Institute reports:

The Government backed down last night and allowed a free speech protection to be written into its proposed ‘homophobic hatred’ law.

The decision came after the Government was defeated for a second time in the House of Lords. Peers voted 178 to 164 in favour of the protection yesterday evening.
