Actress Seyi Omooba | Christian Legal Centre
A Christian actress in the U.K. has lost her religious discrimination case in which she alleged that she was wrongfully terminated from a musical production because of faith-informed opinions on homosexuality she had expressed on social media as a teenager.
Seyi Omooba was cast to portray Celie in a 2019 theatre production of The Color Purple, a leading role that is seen by some as a lesbian character. She was fired from the production after Hamilton actor Aaron Lee Lambert publicly released screenshots of a 2014 Facebook post in which she wrote: “I do not believe you can be born gay, and I do not believe homosexuality is right,” adding, “Christians, we need to step up and love but also tell the truth of God’s word. I am tired of lukewarm Christianity,” The Telegraph reports.
