UK Government: Stop Funding Terrence Higgins Trust

The Issue

The Terrence Higgins Trust gets millions of £ per year from the UK 

government to distribute "health advice". But instead of 

health advice, it offers sickness advice. The sort of material and 

information it provides on websites such as "The Hard Cell", "Below 

the Belt" and "The Bottom Line" are more suitable for a hard-core porn 

site. They are physically and morally harmful. 

There is a big difference between sex education and pornography - or 

there should be. The first should emphasize health and responsibility, 

focussing on what is normal and natural. The latter is free to tell 

and show what it likes to the world - but not to call it health 

advice! 

There is also a big difference between an independent organization 

and a charity or a government-funded body. We are not advocating 

censorship. We just think that tax-payers' money should not go to 

groups that are promoting nasty, abnormal and harmful models of behaviour.

This money could be used to educate young people about the real dangers of the homosexual way of life and SAVE LIVES.
