Four British Christians urged Europe's top court Tuesday to rule that they faced discrimination because of their religious beliefs.
Two women accuse their employers of refusing to let them wear crosses openly at work.
Alongside them, a woman who declined to register gay civil partnerships and a man who did not want to give sex therapy to same-sex couples say they were unfairly dismissed from their jobs.
Gary McFarlane, the relationship counselor, said he was pleased with the way Tuesday's hearing went.

(14,337 posts)1. How do Catholic Court Clerks reconcile
marrying divorced couples? Do they seriously think all these couples are Catholics with annulments? What they don't know can't hurt them? This isn't a violation of their religous liberty? Only marrying gay couples is?
