The Christian Institute is notable for its public campaigns opposing gay rights, in particular in support of Section 28.
In 2000 the CI became the first and only group to ever take a case to court for a breach of Section 28.
In 2004 they printed a full-page add in The Times newspaper in favor for a controversial amendment to the proposed Civil Partnership Bill (considered by many supporters to be a wrecking amendment). In response, Members of Parliament questioned the CI's charitable status in light of their political campaigning.[1] (http://uk.gay.com/headlines/7109)
