Wow some people must love the devil a whole lot to be advocating for him this hard. Something which Seyi Omooba would also refuse to play on stage. |

If a gay actor who had been hounded and abused by Christians his whole life and hates them with every fibre of his being was offered a role playing a gay hating Christian, should he be allowed to play the role if he chose to? Is your surname Omooba by any chance? |

Imagine if we changed every single aspect of the situation, would that require a different approach? Riddle me that liberals! |

Good. Let's hope it bankrupts the corrupt organisation that her father runs. |

I quite like the idea of lots of bigots putting their hands in their pockets to pay for this.

.... AND she didn't HAVE to take it this far. She has not shown any remorse. Don't ever want to see her onstage again. She did this, no one else. |

Couldn’t happen to a nicer person.
She’s unemployable in theatre now.

I can't see how her career can survive.
She's now theatre poison.

She will make a career as a professional victim seeing conspiracy everywhere. And she can sing in her father's church.
And we can ignore everything about her.

That line in Mamma Mia 2 from the Greek mother figure - "It's called karma; and it's pronounced 'Ha!'"

I really hope Christian Concern live up to their name and cover the costs for Omooba. She is clearly an extremely foolish girl who will be living with the consequences of her actions for years to come, but I still don’t believe she deserves to have her entire life destroyed because of this.

I can't see how her career can survive. She's now theatre poison. I just read through the employment tribunals findings posted above, and it makes clear reference to the fact that she can't even get an agent let alone book a job. Sometimes when I see the gleeful posts I feel a bit bad for her, having her entire life torn asunder by beliefs she was brought up in, but reading through the whole case just made me feel that there were several points she could have turned back, and this outcome is mostly of her own creation. The other enjoyable factoid was that basically everyone involved in the case apart from her is gay. |

The other enjoyable factoid was that basically everyone involved in the case apart from her is gay. Again, I don't feel sorry for her at all. She brought this on herself and has not shown a ounce of remorse. She easily could have apologised. I'd have a little more respect for her. She didn't, she's had this whole 'woe is me,' attitude - she's a grown ar*se human and should know right from wrong no matter how she was brought up. It's an insult that she even pursued theatre in the first place. Will Christian Concern cover the costs? Considering her father is involved....Um, I'd assume so. |

She might declare herself bankrupt to avoid paying this. But let's wait and see

One thing I thought was interesting is that she wasn't represented by a barrister at the hearing, she had a lay representative while the theatre had paid for a QC.
I wonder why Christian Concern didn't choose to pay for legal representation for her, this would have been a landmark case for them with the publicity, you'd think they'd throw more up against it.
From something I read, she mentioned talking to CC lawyers so they must have had someone.
That makes me think they won't pay out the £300k, unless it's just that their lawyers aren't suitably qualified as lawyers so that's who the lay representative was!

Yep, their lay representatives who aren't actually lawyers are the "legal team" Christian Concern keep referring to. It's a bit frightening. |

Surely you don't need a legal team when you have God on your side?

Not sure any of this is constructive or that relevant now. Case settled, Curve & Hippodrome moving on, maybe we should too.

It is still very much put there.
I play a silly merge game on my phone and the chat frequently has the word 'faggot' used in an aggressive way towards other players
