Felix Ngole wins appeal in victory for Christian freedoms
Here is the actual judgement by the Court of Appeal: PDF link
This is a key paragraph (Section 5, Paragraph 10, on page 3 in the document):
The University wrongly confused the expression of religious views with the notion of discrimination. The mere expression of views on theological grounds (e.g. that ‘homosexuality is a sin’) does not necessarily connote that the person expressing such views will discriminate on such grounds. In the present case, there was positive evidence to suggest that the Appellant had never discriminated on such grounds in the past and was not likely to do so in the future (because, as he explained, the Bible prohibited him from discriminating against anybody).

Father God
I've got a favor
to ask of you.
.
It is said
you can justify
the hell I knew.
.
So now I raise
my tired eyes
to the morning blue.
.
God above,
I've got a favor
to ask of you.
.
If I don't wake up
dead in the morning
could you stand by me
if just for a moment
give pause to the pain
put a break to the moaning
while I'm stuck in this mind
and I just can't control it.
.
If you're gonna drag me out
of my bed in the morning
then I ask I wake in
a place I feel at home and
I can pour a little brown, light
a green, and get to hoping
that I'll find good work,
good love, and consoling.
.
Ya Allah
Ana mish aerif
Ana riyeh feyn.
.
My head
is clouded, dark
and the sky is grey.
.
I've found
I hate the sun,
and dance in the rain.
.
And at night,
I close my eyes,
dream of the grave.
.
If you're gonna drag me out
of my bed in the morning
then I ask I wake in
a place I feel at home and
I can pour a little brown, light
a green, and get to hoping
that I'll find good work,
good love, and consoling.
