The following excerpts are from the article “New Bill condemns vulnerable to unwanted gay lifestyles” on the Christian Concern website: … “Labour MP Geraint Davies has introduced the Counsellors and Psychotherapists (Regulation) Bill, which aims to outlaw therapies offering help to men and women who want to change unwanted feelings for their own gender.”

“Dr. Mike Davidson, Director of the Core Issues Trust, represents the interests of men and women from many different backgrounds who have decided to live a non-gay life. … ‘Homosexuality is not a disease and nor is it an inborn condition. My opposition to this obnoxious bill is that the rights and freedom of vulnerable people with feelings they don’t want to keep, would be dismissed, and they would be forced to lead traumatic lives. That’s tyranny,’ said Dr. Davidson.”

“He told presenter, Nicky Campbell, on Five Live Breakfast, that the Bill showed a total lack of compassion for a distinct minority who wanted to lose homosexual feelings. ‘This is a tyrannical bill. It insists people who want to overcome unwanted feelings are denied that right. It dictates that they must give in to homosexual feelings they feel are wrong for them. This is ideological dictatorship and panders to the vociferous homosexual lobby which loathes the idea that a homosexual can change.” …
