In one of the most comprehensive rebukes of cancel culture in recent memory, a court in the United Kingdom affirmed April 1 that Christians and people of other faiths who hold traditional religious views about marriage and human sexuality are entitled to protection under the law.

Evans said that the defendants’ actions were “the antithesis of the manner in which a public authority should behave in a democratic society.”

individuals or organizations that hold them “extremist.”
