A course at Edinburgh University which promotes the traditional marriage as the best setting for a sexual relationship has come under fire from other students who have branded it "homophopic".
The 'Pure' course run by the Christian Union teaches the 'Orthodox Christian teaching on relationships and sex' - centred on the biblical view that sex was intended by God within the lifelong commitment of marriage.
Now the university's Student Representative Council (SRC) has branded the course "homophobic" and is calling for it to be banned.
Activists have also warned the university's management that they will do all they can to disrupt the course, including picketing, when it starts on Monday unless it is scrapped, reports Edinburgh Evening News.
