A British Christian school administrator, sacked last year after she expressed concerns on social media about gender and relationship education in primary schools, is suing her former employer for alleged discrimination and harassment on the grounds of her religious beliefs.

In a statement submitted to a Bristol employment tribunal on Monday, Kristie Higgs, a 44-year-old mother who is being supported by the Christian Legal Centre, reportedly said she “does not believe in the modern ideas of gender fluidity and transgenderism,” and believes same-sex marriage is “contrary to God’s law.”
