'Gay cure' therapies are still available on the NHS

The Government should introduce regulation to ban so-called “gay cure therapies” that purport to be able to change someone’s sexual orientation, an MP has said.

Mike Free, a Conservative, said the psychotherapy industry was thus far not regulated by statue and that the Government needed to “go further” to ensure that “quack” therapies were rooted out.

“It remains possible for people within the UK to be referred by an NHS professional to a psychotherapist for a so-called ‘gay cure’,” he said during a debate on the subject in Parliament’s Westminster Hall.

“Being gay is not a disaster, being gay is not an illness. To suggest otherwise is not only demeaning, it is medically wrong.”

Mr Freer, who is himself gay, said bogus supposed “therapies” offered by some practitioners including exorcism, riding a bike, and prayer.

He also said electric shock and nausea pain-aversion treatments were in use to try and alter sexuality. He claimed one Austrian doctor had offered experimental testicular transplants.

With the DUP calling the shots it'll be chemical castration or prison like the ol' days....keep it simple.

A terrible thing, the "gay cure"

Once you get it, you are a miserable git for the rest of your life, no more being gay about anything...

Unless you have a golden gaytime.

Another point against homosexuality then: The potential for inbreeding!

Identical twins having sex is a very important sub-genre of both straight and gay porn.

[pErvinalia]

there's an oxymoron in there somewhere. Unless we are talking sex-changes.

[NineBerry]

Straight porn features lesbian sex.

[pErvinalia]

It's not straight if it's homosexual.

[NineBerry]

Straight porn. Homosexual sex. It exists. A lot. You should watch more porn.

[pErvinalia]

You are getting the terminology wrong. Gay/straight porn isn't labelled gay/straight to represent the person watching it. It's to represent the content. Given the amount of porn I have watched, I consider myself an expert in this field..

[NineBerry]

Look. Buy a straight porn magazine. It has lots of heterosexual sex. But somewhere in between there is always one double page with females fingering each other.

Gay cure? But what about the opposite -- a straight cure? I want to be fabulous
