Is bullshit.

The British Medical Association has determined that such “therapies” have been discredited, are damaging to patient, and should be banned. The Association’s membership further agreed that the NHS should investigate any cases of such conversion therapies, and terminate any public funding to such practices.


More information and links in the article.

From closer to the source:

The NHS should not fund "discredited" conversion therapy for homosexual people, representatives at the BMA conference have voted.

The BMA has called on the Department of Health to investigate cases where it seems that conversion therapy has been funded with NHS money to prevent it happening in future.

What brought that on? this. Original posting here.

Another example of this guy's lunacy here.

This "gay conversion" is pure nonsense. I have yet to find a single one of these fundie nutjobs who will admit that they could choose to be, or could be converted to be gay. It's homophobic bigotry, and nothing else.

The foundation of morality is to . . . give up pretending to believe that for which there is no evidence, and repeating unintelligible propositions about things beyond the possibliities of knowledge.
