The bans go much further and outlaw innocent, everyday church activities, including people praying for their friends,' warned Christian Institute Deputy Director Simon Calvert.
(LifeSiteNews) — A Christian campaign group in Scotland warned the Scottish Parliament that it will face legal action if it forges ahead with plans to introduce a blanket ban on so-called LGBT “conversion therapy,” accusing the committee that recommended the measures of “bias.”
The Christian Institute (CI), a British religious campaign group for the promotion of Christian ideals in the U.K., is pushing back against a broad proposal in Holyrood to limit “conversion therapy” for people experiencing same-sex attraction and “gender identity” crises, describing the law as “the most extreme legislation on conversion therapy in the Western world.”
On Tuesday, the Equalities, Human Rights, and Civil Justice Committee (EHRCJ) of the Scottish Parliament issued a 45-page dossier calling for an end to conversion therapy, including “religious teaching, prayer or other speech directed at an individual or group of individuals if it does not accept their view of their gender identity or sexuality,” the CI explained.
The proposal seeks to outlaw “any model or individual viewpoint that demonstrates an assumption that any sexual orientation or gender identity is inherently preferable to any other,” thereby criminalizing conversations in which individuals might express traditional views on human sexuality.
CI Deputy Director Simon Calvert said that while coercion into any kind of therapy would be wrong, “these proposals don’t target coercion. They target conversations based on beliefs and individual viewpoints.”
While the EHRCJ has argued that any effort to “suppress an individual’s expression of sexual orientation or gender identity” should be criminalized, Calvert warned that holding Christian values could fall foul of the recommended guidance.

The left wants to be able to abuse and groom them into that lifestyle, but not be able to help them out of it. They want to ban rape and sexual abuse therapy.
A person who feels same sex attraction but wishes to be attracted to the opposite sex instead? The Left says, they are deluded and trying to help them adjust their attraction is barbaric and taking advantage of them.
“Anne Heche”
When wounds are healed, when gaping wounds left by an absent or cold father or mother are healed, compulsive anxiety to attempt to salve wound by acting out fades. Believe Anne said she had been molested by her father. Believe her former partner Ellen DeGeneres was molested either by her father or stepfather and had a cold mother according to an account she once gave. Oligarchs and liberal political hacks want walking wounded political agitators. No way they can abide healing by competent counseling healing wounds, a method Grace sometimes uses. If wounds aren’t addressed early on, healing, even openness to healing becomes harder as dysfunction becomes ingrained.
Look how the Left distorts the English language:
A man thinks he is a woman and it is “Conversion Therapy” to convince Him, He is a Man.
Yeah just read up. Holy cow that woman has been through hell.
I believe mayor DiBlasio’s wife was also a former lesbian
Never met a gay (and I’ve known quite a few) who did not have some kind of pain/trauma in their past. Disorder comes from this unhealed pain, not from “I was born this way.”
