Theresa May announcing a ban on ‘Gay Conversion Therapy’<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So Theresa May has \u2018vowed’, as the London Evening Standard puts it<\/strong><\/a>, to ban what has become known as \u2018gay conversion therapy’.<\/p>\n

Action Plan<\/h2>\n

She is proposing a \u00a34.5 million \u2018action plan’ aimed at making society \u2018more inclusive’ for homosexuals, bisexuals and transgenders. They make up the media’s so-called \u2018LGBT community’. And part of the \u2018action plan’ is to brand any course of treatment or healing for same-sex desires as \u2018abhorrent’.<\/p>\n

As the Bible says:<\/p>\n

Proverbs 29:27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The initiative follows a major Government survey to which more than 108,000 LGBT people responded. The rest of the population, 99% of us, knew nothing about it.<\/p>\n

The survey found out of the 1% of the population who are sadly L or G, as many as 2% had undergone conversion therapy and a further 5% had been offered it. That, clearly, will never do.<\/p>\n

The action plan states: \u2018We will consider all legislative and non-legislative options to prohibit promoting, offering or conducting conversion therapy.’<\/p>\n

Avoid holding hands<\/h2>\n

The survey showed LGBT’s claim to experience \u2018prejudice’ on a daily basis, the Government said.<\/p>\n

More than two thirds of those who took part in the survey said they avoided holding hands with a same-sex partner in public for fear of a negative reaction. 23% said work colleagues had reacted negatively to them being LGBT. So not everyone has been steamrollered by the LGBT juggernaut.<\/p>\n

LGBT hate incidents had been experienced by 40% of people in the survey. More than nine in 10 of the most serious offences went unreported, says the Standard. But a \u2018hate incident’ could be someone like me objecting to repellent homosexual propaganda in Lloyds Bank, or a mother not being too pleased about dirty boys holding hands in front of her children.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister said: \u2018We can be proud that the UK is a world leader in advancing LGBT rights, but the overwhelming response to our survey has shone a light on the many areas where we can improve the lives of LGBT people.’<\/p>\n

Will DUP support the plan?<\/h2>\n
\"Arlene<\/a>
Arlene Foster’s DUP have kept Theresa May honest over Brexit. Can they do the same in respect of the LGBT action plan?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mrs May’s administration depends on the support of the Democratic Unionist Party. The DUP has remained a shining light in Northern Ireland, preventing \u2018gay-marriage’ and abortion reaching the Province. Can the DUP shut down this ludicrous and freedom-sapping initiative?<\/p>\n

Mrs May went on: \u2018I was struck by just how many respondents said they cannot be open about their sexual orientation or avoid holding hands with their partner in public for fear of a negative reaction.’<\/p>\n

\u2018No one should ever have to hide who they are or who they love.’<\/p>\n

Does that include paedophiles and serial adulterers? Mrs May needs to understand that many of us, from strong religious convictions, seriously object to homosexuals flaunting their perversions in public. She continued:<\/p>\n

\u2018This LGBT action plan will set out concrete steps to deliver real and lasting change across society, from health and education to tackling discrimination and addressing the burning injustices that LGBT people face.’<\/p>\n

LGBTs matter more than others<\/h2>\n

The plan aims to investigate \u2018LGBT abuse online’; as if no other form of abuse online is anywhere near as important. It also wants to improved \u2018mental healthcare for LGBT people with a focus on suicide prevention’. That means other suicides, like those of young men in general, do not matter as much.<\/p>\n

Lev 19:15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty:\u00a0but<\/i>\u00a0in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It will also say that society is to blame for suicides among homosexuals, not the disorder of homosexuality itself.<\/p>\n

Inevitably, it will step up gay propaganda in state schools under the guise of \u2018combating homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying’.<\/p>\n

Finally, a national adviser on reducing LGBT inequality will be appointed as part of the initiative. And a BBC internal survey just found 10% of their staff were \u2018that way inclined’. That’s five to ten times as many as in the population. Homosexuals are also over-represented in Parliament and academia. There is no ‘LGBT inequality’ in our law or in our public institutions. Just in the public mind.<\/p>\n

Pastors may not pray?<\/h2>\n

And of course there will be the ban on \u2018gay conversion therapy’. The psychological profession’s regulation bodies already prohibit their members from offering any such therapy. In the 1970’s activists such as Peter Tatchell browbeat the psychiatric profession into removing homosexuality from any list of disorders.<\/p>\n

Therapist Lesley Pilkingon was struck off by her professional body, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She was targetted in a sting operation by activist Patrick Strudwick, as he boasts in the Independent here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

But what if someone goes to their pastor and asks for prayer to rid themselves of unwanted same-sex desires? What if the pastor suggests a Christian healing ministry? Will ministries, even churches, that take a Biblical view on sodomy and lesbianism be banned? What if the pastor or a friend of one seeking healing offers to cast out a demon?<\/p>\n

Attack on basic freedoms<\/h2>\n

Let us be under no illusion. This is an attack on freedom of speech, freedom of choice, freedom of association, and inasmuch as Christianity forms the backdrop to a desire to be free from same-sex desires, or constitutes an element of the healing process offered, on religious freedom.<\/p>\n

And why is such a ban being proposed? Simply to protect the fragile sensibilities of homosexual activists:<\/p>\n

Firstly, the mere thought that someone could be dissatisfied with being homosexual and want to change is politically incorrect.<\/p>\n

Secondly, the very idea that someone could actually change is politically inconvenient.<\/p>\n

Thirdly, the concept that human sexuality is not rigidly determined at birth is at odds with the gay agenda.<\/p>\n

Fourthly, the idea that there is something inherently wrong with sodomy and all things gay may not be entertained.<\/p>\n

Gay Conversion Therapy ban criminalises ideas<\/h2>\n

There are people walking away from the homosexual lifestyle? How very dare they.<\/p>\n

Homosexual activists cannot get over the fact that many ordinary people view same-sex desires and those outwardly expressing them as abnormal, unnatural, deviant and pathological. In particular, they cannot abide the church not honouring their perversion.\u00a0 But it never can:<\/p>\n

Mark 10: 6\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/sup>But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7\u00a0For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8\u00a0<\/span>And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

And becoming one flesh in the Bible’s full emotional, spiritual and physical sense is something a pair of gays or two lesbians can never do.<\/p>\n

So to be blunt, Mrs May is going to try to criminalise ideas. And that way lies tyranny. Another part of George Orwell’s nightmarish 1984 vision is in place. Here come the Thought Police.<\/p>\n

We’ll really appreciate your support
