Bill Parry tried to sue a church that refused him access to the ladies' toilet.
The Government has proposed yet more equality legislation which could interfere with religious liberty and free speech, this time on transsexualism.
The planned regulations, published last week, will make it unlawful to discriminate against a transsexual in the provision of goods and services.
The plans include a subjective harassment clause which, in some circumstances, could allow a transsexual to sue because he 'felt offended' by criticism of transsexualism.
The inclusion of a harassment clause is highly controversial. Similar laws on religious and sexual orientation discrimination do not include a harassment provision because of concerns regarding free speech.
There are some religious liberty protections in the proposed regulations, but these protections only apply to non-commercial activities in places used for the purposes of organised religion.
Colin Hart, Director of The Christian Institute, said: "Once again the Government is set to clash with church groups over religious liberty. It seems to have the idea that 'Christians can believe what they like inside their churches, but not in public'.
"This is yet further evidence of the growing intolerance against Christians, particularly regarding moral issues. Transsexualism is a controversial issue and the Government should not be legislating to censor people's religious beliefs on the subject."
Parliament is expected to vote on the regulations on Thursday 13 December.
