Crucial debate on therapy for unwanted same-sex attraction:

Christian Concern


 






Please join us on Wednesday (30 January) at a debate in the Houses of Parliament on the legitimacy and freedom to offer therapy for those with unwanted feelings of same-sex attraction.

The debate is so important because at stake is the freedom of people to choose to have this kind of therapy if they want it.

Your attendance at the debate, if you can make it, will be much appreciated.

The debate is being held ahead of an inquiry into a complaint against Dr Mike Davidson, a strong supporter of change therapy for people suffering with unwanted feelings of same-sex attraction. However, many professional bodies are banning such therapies.

Peter Tatchell and Professor Michael King will be taking part in the debate. Peter Tatchell and Professor King are well known advocates for gay rights.

The event runs from 10.30am to noon and will take place in Committee Room 11, Houses of Parliament, Westminster, London.

Speakers:

Prof Michael King (Director of Mental Health Sciences Unit, University College London)
Mr Peter Tatchell (Human Rights Campaigner/Advocate)
Dr Joseph Berger (Consultant Psychiatrist, Royal College of Psychiatrists, Canada)
Dr Mike Davidson (Director, Core Issues Trust)

You need to register for this event. To do so, please email: peter.mcilvenna@christianconcern.com or call Peter on 07546 497 790.
