Why Vue Cinemas is muddled in saying ex-gay film contradicted its ‘values’
by Carys Moseley, Christian Concern:
This past Wednesday Vue Cinemas paid an undisclosed fee for breach of contract to Core Issues Trust for its last-minute cancellation of the ex-gay documentary film Voices of the Silenced. However Vue stubbornly defended its original statement that showing the film would go against its ‘values’.
Upon closer inspection it is clear that Vue Cinemas is more than a little muddled about values relevant to the screening of the film. Two reasons taken together stand out. The first relates to the available evidence for change in sexual attractions and orientation as well as for the social attitudes of clients in this field, whilst the second relates to Vue’s own business practices.
Recent evidence for change in sexual attraction and orientation
Whether Vue Cinemas likes it or not there is peer-reviewed evidence of change from same-sex to heterosexual attraction and orientation in some people, both spontaneous and due to engaging voluntarily in psychotherapy for Sexual Orientation Change Efforts (SOCE).
