‘Conversion therapy’ BBC News report ‘misled viewers’

from Christian Concern:

Core Issues Trust (CIT) has responded to a portrayal in a BBC News at 10 report in which the organisation is caricatured as offering so-called ‘conversion therapy’.

Last month, the Prime Minister proposed to outlaw the practice and promised a government investigation into what he called ‘conversion therapy’: a misleading and deceitful term invented by gay activists, conflating psychotherapy and counselling for clients’ unwanted same-sex attraction with various criminal offences including rape and torture.

The BBC report featured the claims of a man named Gareth, who now regrets his past efforts to move away from same-sex attraction, and says that the treatment he received damaged his mental health.

The claims, covering a four-year period from 2009-2012, add up to a misleading picture of the work of CIT.
