 Bryan Barkley, who staged a solo protest against same sex marriage in March  
A volunteer has been dismissed from the British Red Cross for protesting against gay marriage.
Bryan Barkley, 71, was told he is no longer welcome at the charity because his views are incompatible with its values.
The church-going pensioner received his dismissal letter after holding a one-man protest outside his local cathedral.
He held up a placard saying ‘No same sex marriage’ and ‘No redefinition of marriage’.
Yesterday his supporters said the charity’s action was shocking and it was punishing volunteers for their thoughts and views.
Mr Barkley, who has worked for 20 years as a senior Red Cross volunteer, is appealing against his dismissal which he calls ‘unfair and without justification’.
The grandfather, who has been married for 42 years, joined the organisation after taking early retirement from his job as a civil engineer and had recently represented it at a Buckingham Palace garden party.
