Summary

Holding to the biblical definition of male and female has cost the Rev. Bernard Randall his job. 


Randall served as chaplain of Trent College, a day and boarding school in Derbyshire, England, for four years. He delivered a sermon to students on the topic of gender identity in 2019. 

“So, all in all, if you are at ease with 'all this LGBT stuff,' you’re entitled to keep to those ideas,” Randall said in his sermon, adding, “if you are not comfortable with it, for the various—especially religious—reasons, you should not feel required to change.”


Despite Randall's clear statement that “no one should be discriminated against simply for who he or she is,” Trent College suspended the chaplain for the sermon, reported him to England’s counterterrorism watchdog organization, and subsequently dismissed him. 


Randall joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to share his story and why he chose to take legal action against his former employer. 


We also cover these stories: 

  • New York Attorney General Letitia James releases an investigators' report finding that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed 11 women.
