UK becoming totalitarian?

From reading another recent article:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/religion/12176380/Christian-student-expelled-for-opposing-gay-marriage.html?utm_source=Christian+Concern&utm_campaign=064303125a-BN-2016-02-29&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_9e164371ca-064303125a-127507157

Regardless of the main content of the article, there's a paragraph regarding this individual "... that he was entitled to his opinion ... but that there was a danger he "may have caused offence to some individuals" by voicing it."

Am I getting this right? Is there seriously the suggestion that we're only allowed our own opinions as long as we don't voice it?

Surely this is just another way of the government - or just those in authority over us - keeping us silent. It's essentially a gag order: be quiet or lose your job.

Aren't we thrilled to live in such a free country?!
