Christian awaits judgement in fight with University of Sheffield over comments about gay men
A devout Christian thrown off a University of Sheffield course after being accused of posting derogatory comments about homosexuals and bisexuals online is waiting to hear whether he has won the latest round of a legal battle.
Felix Ngole, 40, of Barnsley, says he was expressing a traditional Christian view and complained that Sheffield University bosses unfairly stopped him completing a postgraduate degree.
He lost an earlier fight when Deputy High Court Judge Rowena Collins Rice ruled that university bosses had acted within the law, after a High Court trial in London.
