An evangelical Christian pastor, who resigned from his job as a school caretaker after Tweeting in opposition to ‘Pride Month’ events, has had his case heard at an employment tribunal.
In June 2019, Keith Waters (see photo), the then pastor at New Connexions Church in Ely, published the Tweet: ‘A reminder that Christians should not support or attend LGBTQ “Pride Month” events held in June. They promote a culture and encourage activities that are contrary to Christian faith and morals. They are especially harmful to children.’
Following complaints from parents, Ely Primary School began an investigation into his conduct for allegedly bringing the school into disrepute.
