«Breaking News» Church of England bishops to start inquiry into so-called ‘gay cure’ therapies

Senior Church of England bishops will start an inquiry into 'gay cure' therapies.

Bishops will take evidence from people who have gone through the so-called 'treatments' to turn people from gay to straight.

The treatments range from counselling to 'corrective rape', where victims are forced to have sex with someone of the opposite gender.

The charity-led inquiry will begin an survey into conversion therapy taking place within religious groups.

 The Government planned to take action in July this year, after a survey of more than 100,000 LGBT people revealed that up to five per cent had been offered a form of the therapy. Its LGBT Action Plan said faith organisations were most likely to carry out the treatments [File photo]

The Ozanne Foundation, which works with religious organisations to stop discrimination, will launch an online faith and sexuality survey open to UK residents over the age of 16. 

Jayne Ozanne, who is the director of the foundation, went through a form of gay cure therapy herself.

She said: 'Like many, I voluntarily chose to put myself through various forms of deliverance ministry and emotional healing in order to try and rid myself of my unwanted sexual desires as I believed them to be sinful. 

'Sadly, this ended with me being hospitalised twice for severe abdominal pain caused by stress and two nervous breakdowns. 

'If I had understood the dangers I would never have put myself through such emotional and spiritual abuse.'

Bishop Paul Bayes, who is chair of the foundation, said they are concerned the practice is still being used by religious groups. 

He said: 'Conversion therapy has no place in the modern world, and has been roundly condemned by the Church of England among many others. 

'Sadly, we already know that all too often it has devastating long term consequences'.

The Government planned to take action in July this year, after a survey of more than 100,000 LGBT people revealed that up to five per cent had been offered a form of the therapy. 

The Government then launched a 75 point LGBT Action Plan costing £4.5million, and among other pledges, promised to outlaw the therapies. 

Its plan did not offer a definition or say how it was going to be outlawed, but noted the treatments included 'pseudo-psychological treatments to, in extreme cases, surgical interventions and 'corrective' rape'.

The plan also said faith organisations were most likely to carry out the treatments.

Last year the Church of England's General Synod endorsed a motion saying the practice is 'unethical, potentially harmful and has no place in the modern world'.

The Church of England's Second Church Estates Commissioner, Dame Caroline Spelman, also met with ministers to consider outlawing the therapies.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
