Tell Britain's National Health Service: Don't Support Ex-Gay Therapy

Brooklyn, NY, United States
Created February 1, 2010

The Issue

An investigation led by an activist in London, and published in the Independent, shows that conversion therapy for homosexuals is widespread in England. More than that, there's even evidence that the National Health Service is spending taxpayer money to support reparative therapy.

That's unacceptable. There's no scientific evidence that people can "repair" their sexual orientation. On the contrary, such therapy has been shown to have catastrophic psychological and emotional effects, leading one patient to dub the therapy as "psychological torture."

Tell the National Health Service, as well as the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman and the General Medical Council that there's no place in government to support damaging and dangerous "conversion therapy."
