This happened in England
A local politician in the United Kingdom is taking legal action after he was reportedly canceled by seven different organizations and suspended by his own political party for tweeting out his religious views.
"First of all, I am still feeling quite upset," King Lawal, 31, told Fox News Digital. "But I'm so ready to fight back, as well. I'm not wanting to be silenced anymore, and I'm wanting to see more Christians stand up and fight back."
Lawal, who has been a councilor at North Northamptonshire Unitary Council in England for two years, tweeted on June 29 in response to a Twitter post from GB News host Calvin Robinson revealing that naked men were illegally parading in front of minors during LGBT Pride events.
Lawal, a Christian who found the parade behavior offensive and immoral, took to Twitter to condemn it.
Lawal said that while religious freedom is guaranteed under U.K. law, many in his country are "absolutely" becoming more hostile to traditional Christian beliefs.
"In the U.K. now, it is becoming tremendously more difficult to not only share views, but to hold them as well," he said.
"The Bible tells us that to live out a true Christian calling, you have to pick up your cross. I am determined to fight for justice, to clear my name and to ensure that this does not happen to another person," he said.
