Judge Bans Ex-Gay Ads on London Buses; Christian Groups Blast Double Standard

A London judge upheld a ban last week against ads on city buses that suggest that homosexuality can be overcome.

British-based Christian group Core Issues Trust had hoped to run the slogan "Not gay! Ex-gay, post-gay and proud. Get over it!" on the sides of London's famous double-decker buses, but in a 35-page ruling, High Court Judge Beverley Lang argued that the ad could be used to promote homophobic attacks, which trumps the group's freedom of expression.

"[The advert] was not a contribution to a reasoned debate," Judge Lang wrote, according to Reuters.

Core Issues Trust, however, says that they only want the same opportunity to express themselves as pro-gay activist groups, such as Stonewall, which last year ran ads that read "Some people are gay. Get over it!"

WTF does Stonewall (a riot over the closing of a mob run speakeasy) have to do with ANY sort of “advancement” of homosexual rights in England?

Liberal ‘homophobes’ are proof that the homosexual agenda is actually part of their socialist population control ideology.

How else do we explain their hatred towards those who leave the gay ‘brotherhood’?

And why would CA prohibit “gay therapy”? It’s like being a muslim, I guess. As the Eagles sang, “you can check out any time you want but you can never leave”.

Funny how nobody on the left for the past 50 years (of 100? 150?) has thought that marriage was essential for human dignity; now all of a sudden it IS essential-- as long as the wedding is for two cooing lesbians.

Prime Minister Gillard in Australia recently "confessed" that in decades past, the AU got. had promoted adoptions --- traumatic! a negation of natural motherhood! a terrible choice! I'm so sorry! we'll pay reparatrions!" --- except if the adoptive couple consists of gay guys, then it's "You've always wanted a boy of your own? Fabulous! Take two, they're small."

A ‘could be’ trumps a ‘given right’ in this judges way of thinking. The world of reality playtime has been turned up side down and in is out.

Oh, but cross-dressing "nuns" and sado-masochistic parades are ...
