Representatives of an American campaign group are to attend a meeting of the United Nations Committee Against Torture in Geneva next month and argue that helping people address unwanted same-sex attraction amounts to 'cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment' and even 'torture'.
The 'National Center for Lesbian Rights' is based in California where there is already a ban on offering 'sexual orientation change efforts' to minors (read more).
Dr Mike Davidson (pictured), Director of Core Issues Trust which seeks to reflect 'God's heart in sexual and relational brokenness' said:
"This is a stark reminder of the determination of a certain lobby, driven by a radical ideological agenda, to close down options for those facing unwanted same-sex attraction. There is similar pressure here in the UK. It needs to be exposed and resisted, chiefly for the sake of those who want help.
"Science and experience demonstrate that help with unwanted same-sex attraction can be effective and is far from harmful."
Please pray for Mike as he attends a meeting of the EU's Fundamental Rights Agency on Tuesday (28th October) and seeks to present the truth about unwanted same-sex attraction.
