Haulage company's gay veto
FORD-based haulage firm The Page Group has been accused of bigotry over its decision to pull three lorries from this Saturday's Pride in Brighton and Hove parade.
The decision to remove the lorries from the parade, which celebrates gay and lesbian relationships, was taken just five days before the event by the company manager Derek Page.
Mr Page said that as a Christian he would not support the parade as homosexuality goes against his beliefs.
