A British magistrate who was sacked from his post for his stated opposition to same-sex adoption is to sue Justice Minister Michael Gove for his comments on the case.
Richard Page was removed after an investigation by the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office into a 2015 interview he gave in which he stated that children do better when adopted into a family comprising a man and a woman. Michael Gove described him as “biased and prejudiced against single sex adopters”.
