The idea of homosexuality being a sin was “not a statement that I make, this is something I get asked because of my faith”, he told the Guardian. Speaking to the BBC on Tuesday, Farron clarified his views further to stress that he also does not believe gay sex itself is sinful. “I don’t believe that gay sex is a sin,” he said. “I take the view though that as a political leader my job is not to pontificate on theological matters. “I don’t think people want political party leaders telling them what is and isn’t sin,” he said.
