(AgapePress) - A recent nighttime demonstration outside Great Britain's Parliament highlighted the types of grassroots efforts that British businessmen and Christians must now use to protest homosexual rights laws passed in the United Kingdom last year.

These laws, which include banning discrimination in selling goods and services to homosexuals, were implemented in Northern Ireland, Wales, and England in early 2006, despite heavy opposition. Religious leaders in the U.K. say the legislation is forcing them to act against their biblical beliefs.

According to Reuters news reports, a recent attempt to block the laws in Northern Ireland failed overwhelmingly by a vote in Parliament's House of Lords. Faith groups at the recent nighttime rally at Parliament also sent a petition protesting the legislation to England's Queen Elizabeth II.
