Discrimination against religious beliefs in England
NORWICH, England (ChurchMilitant.com) - A British bus company has been swamped by a wave of public outrage after it suspended a driver for refusing to drive a vehicle celebrating gay pride.
"I am not driving this bus because it promotes homosexuality," the driver told passengers at Norwich Bus Station. He said they would have to "wait a minute" for him to swap buses.
In a drive to promote gay pride, bus operator Konectbus lit up service numbers on various bus routes, including route 501, in the colors of the gay pride rainbow flag.
Passenger Rebecca Sears, 19, lodged a complaint at the bus station's front desk as the driver moved to another double-decker vehicle and allowed passengers to board.
The sixth form student, who posted a picture of the driver on Twitter, said that he was in his fifties with gray hair.
"Today I was waiting for the 501 bus to Thickthorn and we were told by the driver we had to wait for him to swap buses as 'this bus promotes homosexuality and I refuse to drive it' due to the multicoloured '501' sign. Norwich doesn't appreciate homophobia," she tweeted.

That bus can hold a lot of people...You can get 8 in every seat.
The name of every manager in the company is mentioned, but not the driver. Must be a Muslim.
I won’t ride a double decker bus because there’s no driver at the top.
Heck, I’d drive that bus - after a couple bottles of codeine....
I spent a week in England back in June which was gay pride month. The Brits are obsessed with the gay pride thing, there were rainbow flags everywhere and even 3-5 year old kids were walking around dressed in rainbow jackets with rainbow backpacks. It was kind of disturbing to be honest.
Good catch...one of my all-time favorite albums.
The guy must be a muslim. No Christian would have the balls to defend his values like this. He would be too busy “turning cheeks.”
Christians (and conservatives from that matter) sure could learn a thing or two on how to fight from muslims.
Look how many libraries now have Drag Queen Story Hour for little kids with hardly a peep from any of us.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”
Ain’t that the truth!
What exactly are they proud of? Men taking a d*** up their a****?
That is the essence of it.
There’s a petition making the rounds to reinstate the driver... 22748 have already signed it.
