GAY TRUTH

LONDON , March 25, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – London’s City Hall ban on bus adverts carrying “ ex-gay ” slogans is lawful, a London court ruled on Friday. Mrs. Justice Lang ruled the advertisements by a Christian group could “cause grave offence” to homosexuals and was seen as “homophobic…thus increasing the risk of prejudice and homophobic attacks.” The ads were seen briefly in the spring last year on the sides of London’s famous double-decker buses, sporting the slogan, “Not gay! Post-gay and proud. Get over it.”  The ad spots were designed and sponsored by the group Core Issues Trust , in answer to previous campaigns by the homosexualist lobby group Stonewall that said, “Some people are gay. Get over it!” and an earlier, highly publicized campaign by atheists that said, “There’s probably no god. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.” Dr. Michael Davidson, the instigator of the ex-gay campaign and a therapist who has experienced and rejected same-sex attraction him

LONDON , February 19, 2013, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – While pressure continues at  the international level  to prohibit psychotherapists from offering help to those wanting to overcome same-sex attraction , a Canadian therapist has told a British audience that such bans are “unethical.” A debate, billed as a discussion on the “legitimacy and freedom to offer sexual reorientation,” was held at Westminster in late January organized by Christian Concern and Core Issues Trust ahead of a debate in the House of Commons on the government’s “gay marriage” bill. Dr. Joseph Berger, a consultant psychiatrist at the Royal College of Psychiatrists in Canada, and a practitioner of “change therapy,” attended the debate and said it “absolutely horrifies” him that some professional therapy organizations in Britain are attempting to prohibit therapists from offering it. “There should be absolutely no ban on any such treatment. In fact, I consider it unethical to propose such bans,” Berger said.

LONDON, April 19, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – While most medical ethics throughout the western world has adopted the primacy of patient autonomy as its guiding principle, the psychiatric and psychological professions in the UK are becoming increasingly authoritarian in matters of sexuality, according to one would-be therapist. Recently published professional guidelines in the UK say it is an “ethical offense” to either offer to help a client overcome homosexual temptations and feelings, or to accede to a request to do so from a client. “I would agree that the focus is no longer on autonomy” in ethics in psychotherapy, said Dr. Michael Davidson, PhD , Director of the Core Issues Trust. In Britain’s main psychotherapeutic organisations, “the person-centred approach is not being respected,” he said. The Core Issues Trust is a Christian organisation that helps equip Christian ministers to help those with unwanted same-sex attraction and who want to leave the gay lifestyle. Dr. Davidso
