In London, a conference on curing homosexuality was taking place at the Emmanuel Center in Westminster. Evangelical Christian group Anglican Mainstream and CARE pulled the conference together; and, all the while, more than 100 protestors were outside the meeting place with signs, banners, and chants verbalizing against the conference.
Pink News reports: The event was b[i]lled as having "a special focus on how religious professionals and friends/relatives can respond biblically and pastorally to those struggling with unwanted SSA (same-sex attraction)".
According to the organisers the conference was "ideal for clergy, rabbis, psychologists, therapists, educators and others concerned about the plethora of sexual issues confronting us in today’s society, including mentoring the sexually broken, the sexualisation of culture, pornography, the Bible and sex, and marriage, the family and sex".
One of the protesters outside the building, counsellor Andrew Hanuman, told UKGayNews: "These therapists seem to have and unhealthy obsession with homosexuality.
"In some small way, it even helps with the terrible situation in Uganda where the government is working with American therapists, who were recently in the country for a conference.
"In Uganda, gays have a choice – jail or therapy."
