Christian charity which focuses on unwanted gay desires gets backing of 66,000-plus signatories
by Adam Kula, Belfast News Letter:
More than 66,000 online signatures have been added to a petition defending an under-fire Northern Irish charity, amid a campaign by activists opposed to “gay conversion therapy”.
The group is called Core Issues Trust, and the petition specifically demands that Barclays Bank “immediately reinstates” it as a customer, having ditched the charity in July.
The charity says that the bank had “provided no explanation for the decision”, but noted that it was made following roughly two months of a “co-ordinated, aggressive campaign from activists who pejoratively label its work as ‘conversion therapy’”.
The charity’s registered statement of objectives says it exists “for the purpose of empowering individuals and churches to make, and to promote, lifestyle choices consistent with Christian living”.
