I'm aware that many Christian views are misunderstood and/or unpopular with current issues however any faith or section of society is entitled to own them. I recall there was a similar situation recently with the BNP being asked to close their bank account. Regardless of one's controversial views, people are perfectly entitled to see the world in any way they deem fit. Taking the Co-op's view, it's as if having anti-homosexual views is *wrong* - and I believe this is not the case. Holding such a view may be seen as undesirable or even ignorant, but nobody has the right to decide someone's views are wrong.

However looking at the greater picture, the Co-op is entitled to decide who they want as customers - they don't have to give someone an account.
