The homosexual debate is on-going. Since the 1960's the UK has progressively legalised private homosexual acts between consenting adults, culminating in anti-discrimination legislation in the Equality Act 2010. A serious effect of such legislation is that UK Christians find it increasingly difficult to express their faith and sexual ethics in the workplace. It also encourages public bodies like the UK Gay Police Association to participate in uniform at Gay Pride Marches, and it encouraged the UK government to scrap the legal definition of marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman in the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013. Whilst the liberal church may welcome such moves, many Christians see Britain's new equality laws to be in direct conflict with biblical teaching; they are effectively calling evil good and good evil when they sanction deliberate homosexual acts and endorse same-sex marriage:
  * Britain (England and Wales) legalised same-sex marriage in 2013. The UK government now defies the biblical concept of marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman (Gen 2.24).
