The British Medical Association has also attacked "conversion therapy", a related field to reparation therapy, passing a motion asserting that it is "discredited and harmful to those 'treated' ".

The Royal College of Psychiatrists has warned that "so-called treatments of homosexuality create a setting in which prejudice and discrimination flourish" and concluded in 2010 that "there is no sound evidence that sexual orientation can be changed". "The promotion of this voodoo therapy is hugely irresponsible given the damage that it appears to do to some people."Īttempts to "treat" or alter sexual orientation have been strongly condemned by leading medical organisations. The pretence that homosexuality is something you can be weaned off in some way is a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of creation."īen Summerskill, the chief executive of Stonewall, said the adverts were clearly homophobic and added: "The only reason some gay people might want to stop being gay is because of the prejudice of the people who are publishing the ad.

"Most sane Christians believe that homosexuality is not a lifestyle or a choice but is a fact to be discovered or not. "The emotional damage that is done to the individuals who try to suppress their sexuality, the women they marry and the children they might have is immeasurable," he said. The former Europe minister and former Anglican curate, Chris Bryant MP, said the advert was cruel, particularly to teenagers struggling to come to terms with their sexuality, for promoting the idea that you could become "ex-gay". It has sparked an angry response from gay rights campaigners. The Rev Lynda Rose, a spokesperson for the UK branch of Anglican Mainstream said because her group adheres to scripture that all fornication outside marriage is prohibited, it believes that homosexuals are "not being fully the people God intended us to be". Get over it." The Christian groups have used the same black, red and white colour scheme as Stonewall and accuses it of promoting the "false idea that there is indisputable scientific evidence that people are born gay". The campaign is an explicit attempt to hit back at gay rights group Stonewall, which ran its own bus advert saying: "Some people are gay. They will be seen for two weeks travelling past St Paul's Cathedral, down Oxford Street, round Trafalgar Square and through Piccadilly Circus as well as across other parts of the capital. The buses are due to roll out on Monday morning on some of the most popular routes.

Get over it!" Post-gay and ex-gay are terms used by some Christians, psychotherapists and psychiatrists to refer to homosexual people who have undergone spiritual or pastoral therapy and, according to an Anglican Mainstream definition, have "now left a homosexual lifestyle an increased emotional and sexual attraction to the opposite biological gender and possibly a reduction in or loss of same-sex attraction." The advert will say: "Not gay! Post-gay, ex-gay and proud.
