Evangelicals. I hope TT puts them right and don't allow them to hijack the political and social policy as is happening here in the USA.
In fact, Proverbs 13:24 states that ;Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.' Therefore, it is in love that the council speaks out against this behaviour. It is because we are concerned for TT and for LGBTQI individuals themselves, why we continue to militate against the legalisation of this behaviour."

Sounds like another 'ew, icky gay sex' thing.
Weird how some religions bodies are playing victim with the whole "being treated unfairly" notion that would arise if gay people were left be.

I absolutely believe in unfettered religious freedom as I equally believe in the separation of mosque/mandir/church and state.
The problem with "religious" folks and others who wear their religion in their mouths is they try to force their religious beliefs onto others and more often than not, that forcing is against the very religious doctrine they claim to uphold.
Another area of concern is the actions and opinions of those who only selectively criticize religious extremism. Case in point, if a Hindu or Muslim group had made the same statement as in the article I linked, the elite in the media- Express and Guardian would have had all kinds of editorials condemning the group and highlighting our plural society western norms while insinuating these beliefs as foreign to society. Moreover, they would have called for monitoring etc.
Dido in the USA.
