Sacked Anti-gay Post Actress Loses Tribunal Appeal

Seyi Omooba: Sacked anti-gay post actress loses tribunal appeal

An actress sacked for posting an anti-gay comment on Facebook has lost an employment tribunal ruling appeal.

Seyi Omooba was due to perform as Celie - a lesbian role - in a stage production of The Color Purple, but was axed over the post, from 2014.

Miss Omooba, a Christian, was ordered to pay costs to her former agency and Curve in Leicester, where she was due to perform, after losing a tribunal.

Miss Omooba's Facebook post referenced Biblical texts and said: "I do not believe you can be born gay, and i do not believe homosexuality is right, though the law of this land has made it legal doesn't mean its right."
