An official for the orthodox Christian party ChristenUnie has resigned from his job at the party’s Amsterdam branch because he is homosexual, the Telegraaf reports on Tuesday.



Sander Chan said he could no longer function within the party because he did not want to rule out forming a relationship with another man.

The CU’s official standpoint on homosexuality is that officials must always be answerable to the Bible as the word of God, which many in the party take to mean that practising homosexuals should be banned.
