UK Therapist Not Allowed to "Cure" Gays

1/17/10

Lesley Pilkington, a Christian therapist in Great Britain, is facing losing her accreditation because she agreed to help a homosexual become heterosexual, according to the Daily Mail. An undercover gay-rights activist came to her posing as wanting to change his sexuality, and when she said she could help, he complained to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Pilkington uses a controversial Sexual Orientation Change Efforts program as “conversion therapy” and says “everybody is homosexual, but some people have a homosexual problem.” Pilkington is fighting the case saying the activist is guilty of entrapment and misrepresentation.
