HK [Hong Kong] Christian Group Accused of Same-Sex Conversion Therapy

Sexual orientation change effort is a practice globally condemned as discriminatory, dangerous and traumatic

A Christian group in Hong Kong that receives state funding for the welfare of sexual minorities is among several organizations accused of engaging in “brainwashing” LGBTQ individuals to “straighten” them under the guise of one-on-one counseling.

The New Creation Association is one of the groups that have allegedly engaged in the sexual orientation change effort, a practice globally condemned as discriminatory, dangerous and traumatic, the Hong Kong Free Press (HKFP) reported on May 7.

Alvin Cheung, 38, a social worker in Hong Kong alleged that he had contacted the group in 2005 as a college student and it was involved in “brainwashing” him by saying that his same-sex orientation was unnatural.

“They amplified the message that I had internalized growing up: that same-sex attraction was not normal, that it was unnatural, that it was not right,” HKFP quoted Cheung as saying.

Cheung contacted the Christian group after he saw an organization pamphlet that claimed a 70 percent “success rate” among people leaving the same-sex lifestyle.

“When I called their hotline, the woman who answered told me that her husband was a ‘success case,’” Cheung said, “they said they could help me become straight.”

He added that the organization didn't force him to finish their counseling.

“But it is not easy to leave when these [anti-gay] messages become so ingrained, and when you are so determined to change," Cheung said.

He said he had spent around a year undergoing therapy sessions with the group.

Continuing the communist anti-Christian propaganda I see.

You know what the Chinese do to homosexuals?

Kill them.

"...engaging in “brainwashing” LGBTQ individuals to “straighten” them..."

But brainwashing them into thinking they are the opposite sex of what they really are is just fine.

But it is okay to brainwash little children into thinking they are homosexuals or the wrong sex physically and so take drugs to make them chemically change or cut of the sexual parts they have naturally.

As per usual, "globally" here means the left-wing part of the United States, combined with the left-wing part of Western Europe.

Praise God. Demonic forces control the vertical and the horizontal. We must stand with God to control reality.
