Head of Evangelical Alliance tells Christians to be nice to gay people.
No, really.

This morning I heard a deeply encouraging message on Thought for the Day, in which the head of the Evangelical Alliance advised Christians not to protest against the new anti-discrimination law. As I understood it, his message was that although the Bible does talk about sex a small amount, it talks more about serving others, and like Good Samaritans, we sometimes need to put aside what’s theologically important in order to serve others. So while we may have a right to, eg, refuse gay people married style accommodation in our bed-and-breakfast on faith grounds, Christianity is about serving others, not banging on about our own rights.
You can read Philippians 2 if you don't believe me.
