Rev Felix Ngole's job offer as a social worker was withdrawn by a Stonewall-backed NHS provider due to concerns that his beliefs on same-sex relationships might lead to LGBTQ+ patients harming themselves, a Leeds tribunal heard. The case, stemming from an incident in 2015, has sparked discussions on religious beliefs and workplace discrimination, with Ngole's treatment being criticized as beyond unjust and a form of religious persecution. The tribunal also heard concerns from the Touchstone charity about the potential impact of Ngole's views on patients.
