Excerpt from Christian Today post of April 13, 2012: – “London Mayor Boris Johnson yesterday blocked a bus advert suggesting that homosexuals could be cured.”

“The advert featured the slogan: ‘Not gay! Ex-gay, Post-gay and proud. Get over it!’” …

“Anglican Mainstream and the Core Issues Trust organised the advert in response to gay lobby group Stonewall’s advertising campaign in support of gay marriage.”

“‘Stonewall placed adverts on 1,000 buses we don’t think it’s unreasonable for us to come up with something that represents a very different point of view,’ Dr Davidson added.”

“Anglican Mainstream and Core Issues Trust had intended the bus adverts as part of a wider campaign to affirm conventional marriage between one man and one woman, as providing the best environment for the needs of children.”

“Canon Dr Chris Sugden, Executive Secretary of Anglican Mainstream, said: ‘The current political debate surrounding the redefinition of marriage ignores not just the cultural base of this institution that lies at the heart of our society, but seems entirely to have forgotten about children, prioritising adult sexualities at their expense in an unprecedented way.’”
