Brighton Christian ousted from Green Party Group of Councillors
A Christian woman from Brighton has been expelled from her group of local councillors for expressing her views on same-sex marriage in a free vote.
Christina Summers was a member of the Green Party Group of Councillors but the group announced today (10th September) that she has been dismissed.
Christina voted against a motion which supported the Government’s plans to introduce same-sex marriage at a council meeting in July.
At the time, she made it clear that she voted this way because of her Christian faith. She told a local newspaper: “I’m accountable to God above any political party”.
Christina is now taking advice from the Christian Legal Centre over whether to seek a judicial review of the decision.
