Nigel Farage has been criticised for giving his full support to a Christian church leader who preached that homosexuality was an “abomination” and would lead to eternity in hell.

The Reform UK leader recorded a video with Stephen Clayden after Colchester council applied for a banning order to limit his street preaching.

In the clip posted on his YouTube channel, Farage assured Clayden that he was “fully on your side” in the dispute and offered to enlist the help of contacts at the Free Speech Union campaign group.

Clayden told Farage the council was objecting to the volume and some of the content of his preaching, including his references to hell and judgment. However, he has since acknowledged that the council raised concerns not just about the volume of his preaching but also his church’s warnings against homosexuality.

Footage of Clayden preaching last month, available on social media, shows him saying: “All adulterers, all fornicators, all sodomites, all drunkards, all thieves, all blasphemers, all liars, all mockers. Their home shall be in the lake of fire … we are here telling you what the word of God says.”

In the same session, he told passersby: “They hear about words in the Bible like judgment and sin and repentance. They don’t like hearing the holy words of God … they are offended by what the Bible says when the Bible says homosexuality is an abomination.”

His Bread of Life church also preached at Pride Week events in Essex last year and Clayden told a meeting the Bible described homosexuality as “vile, disgusting and wicked”, “a sin so wicked and detestable it was worthy of death”, and the “filthy conduct of the wicked”. » | Rowena Mason | Whitehall editor | Thursday, May 14, 2026

Clayden is such an ignorant man! Clearly, he knows NOTHING about HOMOSEXUALITY. And, seemingly, little about his favourite book, The Bible, either! He needs to do some serious studying of Christianity and its principles before going out PREACHING morals to others.

He talks about homosexuality being an abomination, and about homosexuals having to live in the next life in “eternal Hell”! (He would know, wouldn’t he?!) However, I have got some news for this poor, benighted soul: For many homosexuals in this world, for many homosexuals who have suffered the misfortune of being born in countries which have not yet been kissed by enlightened thought, their “eternal Hell” is in THIS LIFE, they do not have to wait for the NEXT life, wait for the HEREAFTER to experience it! Rest assured, in the Hereafter, God will take care of them for, after all, they, too, are God’s children, God's children who have been created in His image! If we are to believe the Christian message, God loves ALL of HIS CHILDREN — without exception and unconditionally.

Furthermore, there are many academics and theologians who believe that Jesus Himself might well have been gay. Over the years. There has been much speculation about this. This preacher should check out this Guardian article. This will be a good start for this man’s studies.

I should further like to add that Jesus came for ALL, but he was particularly concerned with the marginalised and the rejected. And over the centuries, gays have been nothing if not marginalised and rejected, even here in the Occident until recent years. Even today, in many countries they suffer great indignities, and in several countries which are ruled by the IGNORANT, the BENIGHTED, and the RUTHLESS, they are put to death! If that’s not Hell on Earth, I don’t know what is! — © Mark Alexander

Senegal President Signs Tough New Anti-LGBT Law Doubling Jail Terms

Screenshot from this BBC article. | Senegal has experienced a surge in anti-LGBT sentiment in recent months | EPA
BBC: Senegal's President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has signed a new law doubling to 10 years the maximum prison term for sexual acts by same-sex couples.

The new law also criminalises the "promotion" of homosexuality, which includes any public representation and financial support by individuals or organisations, and provides for three to seven years in prison for those found guilty.

The legislation was a campaign promise of President Faye and Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko and was approved by parliament last month.

UN rights chief Volker Türk has described it as "deeply worrying", saying that the anti-LGBT legislation "flies in the face of sacrosanct human rights".

The UN official and rights groups had urged the president not to sign it into law, but the government dismissed the international criticism, arguing that the measures reflected the views of Senegalese people.

It was taken to parliament after a wave of arrests over alleged same sex relationships, which were already banned under Senegalese law. » | Nicolas Negoce and Basillioh Rukanga | Wednesday, April 1, 2026

The BBC’s First Homosexual - Lost BBC Documentary on Homosexuality Brought to Life in New Film

Mar 18, 2026 | While exploring the BBC’s written archives for research on the Beatles, an unexpected discovery revealed a hidden chapter of history. A file titled “Sexual Offences 1953–1954” opened a window into the BBC’s internal debates about homosexuality in the early 1950s, how it was understood, discussed, and ultimately suppressed.

At a time when information on homosexuality was scarce, the BBC considered producing a ground-breaking programme on the subject. Despite internal support, the broadcast was vetoed by Director-General Ian Jacob, leaving this story buried for decades.

This forgotten history inspired The BBC’s First Homosexual, a powerful stage production that explores the corporation’s attempt to document male homosexuality and its wider social impact. Blending fact with fiction, playwright Stephen Hornby weaves together the real struggles behind the broadcast with a moving story of a young man coming to terms with his identity in 1950s Britain.

Now concluding its UK tour at the Sir Robert Martin Theatre, the production has resonated deeply with audiences. Viewers have reflected on how attitudes have changed over time, while also drawing parallels with the continued challenges faced by LGBTQ+ communities around the world.

With moving performances and powerful storytelling, this production highlights both how far society has come, and how much further there is to go.


There is no doubt that huge strides forward have been made since the 1950s, but still, there is a long way to go. Even today, ignorance abounds on this matter in many quarters. Not forgetting, of course, that there is a vast difference between tolerance and total acceptance. And that’s in the West! God help those who live as closeted queers in Africa and the Middle East. Enlightenment is the answer. But it is difficult to enlighten the benighted! As the old saying goes: There are none so blind as those who don’t want to see! By extension, one can also say the following: There are none so ignorant as those who don’t want to understand! — © Mark Alexander

How Hormones Shape Sexual Orientation & Behavior | Dr. Marc Breedlove

Mar 30, 2026 | Dr. Marc Breedlove, PhD, is a professor of neuroscience at Michigan State University and an expert on how hormones shape brain development and sexual orientation. We discuss how prenatal testosterone impacts whether someone is romantically attracted to men or women later in life, and what correlates of sexual orientation — such as finger-length ratios — tell us about the role of hormones in brain and psychological development. We also discuss why the number of older brothers a male has biases sexual orientation. Throughout, we explain how nature and nurture interact to shape male-female differences, behavior, and romantic partner choice.

BBC: The BBC's First Homosexual: How we made 1950s work into a play: In 1957, the BBC broadcast its first radio documentary about gay men. The Homosexual Condition had taken three years to come to air, amid a climate of considerable oppression in which you could still be imprisoned for being gay. / The documentary was later lost but, following the efforts of a Leicestershire academic and an award-winning writer, a play named The BBC's First Homosexual has been created about it which is having its first performance on Thursday. The people behind it explain the challenges they faced along the way. »

US Deports Gay Asylum Seeker to Another Country Where Homosexuality Is Illegal

INDEPENDENT: Same-sex relationships are punishable in Cameroon by up to five years in prison

Farah, a 21-year-old gay Moroccan woman, is now in hiding in her home country after being deported by the Trump administration.

She had sought asylum in the U.S., fleeing brutal family violence in Morocco, where being gay is illegal and punishable by three years in prison.

Her ordeal began when her family and her partner's family discovered their relationship, leading to severe beatings. Kicked out, she fled with her partner, but her family tracked her down and attempted to kill her, she claimed.

Desperate, Farah and her partner secured visas for Brazil, then trekked through six countries to the U.S. border, requesting asylum. Despite U.S. immigration judge protection orders, she faced a third-country deportation by the Trump administration – to Cameroon, where homosexuality is also illegal.

Now back in Morocco, Farah lives in constant fear. “It is hard to live and work with the fear of being tracked once again by my family,” she said. “But there is nothing I can do. I have to work.” » | Monika Pronczuk | Sunday, February 22, 2026

Through the personal memories of Pierre-Louis “Pilou”, this documentary traces a hidden life shaped by love, fear and repression.

From Paris to Italy, from quiet freedoms to fascist crackdowns, his story reveals how homosexuality was tolerated, medicalized, then criminalized. As Nazism and fascism spread, private lives became political threats.

The Brutal Fate of Homosexuals during Nazi Germany

Aug 17, 2024 | WARNING: This documentary is under an educational and historical context, We do NOT tolerate or promote hatred towards any group of people, we do NOT promote violence. We condemn these events so that they do not happen again. NEVER AGAIN. All photos have been censored according to YouTube's advertiser policies.

Explore the harrowing history of homosexuals during Nazi Germany in this eye-opening video, detailing the persecution, resilience, and untold stories of LGBTQ+ individuals under the Third Reich. Beginning in 1933, when Adolf Hitler rose to power, the Nazi regime intensified its efforts to eradicate homosexuality, which they deemed incompatible with their vision of a racially pure and morally strict society. This dark chapter in history saw the enforcement of Paragraph 175, a law criminalizing homosexual acts, which led to the arrest and conviction of approximately 100,000 men. The video delves into the infamous raids of gay clubs and bars in Berlin, once a haven for LGBTQ+ individuals during the liberal Weimar Republic. Names like Magnus Hirschfeld, a pioneering sexologist and gay rights advocate, emerge as tragic figures whose work was destroyed in the notorious book burnings of 1933. Hirschfeld's Institut für Sexualwissenschaft was ransacked, and his extensive research on sexuality was lost forever.

Viewers will learn about the brutal conditions in concentration camps like Sachsenhausen and Buchenwald, where an estimated 5,000 to 15,000 homosexual men were imprisoned. The pink triangle, a symbol of shame and stigma, was forcibly worn by these men, marking them for severe mistreatment, forced labor, and often, death. Heart-wrenching personal accounts, like that of Pierre Seel, a Frenchman deported to Schirmeck-Vorbruck concentration camp, highlight the human cost of this persecution. Seel's later memoirs provide a rare, firsthand account of the horrors faced by gay men during this period.

The video also touches on the post-war period, revealing how the suffering of homosexuals was largely ignored or forgotten. Unlike other victims of the Holocaust, gay men were not immediately liberated but often re-imprisoned under the same Paragraph 175. It wasn't until 1969 that homosexuality was decriminalized in East Germany, and 1994 in reunified Germany.

This video is a crucial reminder of the resilience and courage of those who suffered under Nazi tyranny. It underscores the importance of remembering and honouring their stories to ensure that such atrocities are never repeated. Join us as we uncover the forgotten history of homosexuals during Nazi Germany, shedding light on a dark past to educate and inspire future generations.

Open Secrets

Nov 15, 2022 | This provocative documentary uncovers a lost chapter in Canadian military history: how the Armed Forces dealt with homosexual behaviour among soldiers, during and after World War II.

More than 60 years later, a group of five veterans, barely adults when they enlisted, break the silence to talk about how homosexual behaviour "was even more unmentionable than cancer." Yet amidst the brutality of war, instances of sexual awakening among soldiers and officers were occurring.

Initially, the Army overlooked it. But as the war advanced, they began to crack down: military tribunals, threats of imprisonment, discharge and public exposure. After the war, officers accused of homosexuality were discharged. Back home in Canada, reputations and careers were ruined. For the young men who had served their country with valour, this final chapter was often too much to bear.

Based on the book Courting Homosexuals in the Military by Paul Jackson.

The Nazi Persecution of Gay People | Reupload

3 Jun 2020 | Before the Nazis came to power, Berlin was home to a vibrant gay community. Within weeks of their rise in March 1933, the Nazis drove this population underground and waged a violent campaign against homosexuality. Over the next 12 years, more than 100,000 men were arrested for violating Germany's law against "unnatural indecency among men.” During this time, proof was often not required to convict an individual. Some were sent to concentration camps and subjected to hard labor, cruelty, and even medical experiments aimed at “curing” them.
