should a place that says it can 'cure' gays be allowed to advertise?
or will it be banned in a victory for illiberal liberalism

Delingpole?
*checks*
Oh. Yeah that'll work too.joeymahone this'd this -
No.
It's not a free speech issue, rather one of false advertising claims.

THIS IS THE GUARDIANS FAULT.
If they hadn't started that fucking atheism campaign.
-
"Watch... our backs"?
Is this a gay joke?
-
I like how the only example used
is of that well known left-wing liberal Boris Johnson stopping a particular campaign.

Never read the comments

Why?
Everyone knows the comments are by far the best thing on any news article

depends what they're curing gays of
if it's like tb or something i don't see the problem

Amazing slippery sloping going on here too
a leap downhill with every paragraph
-
homosexuality can't be 'cured'
as it's not a disease. I think it was actually registered as one in America though, and maybe still is distressingly enough.

look, none of us are going to tell Meowington
it'll all be fine

pretty sure someone suggested one of the causes of homosexuality is
peer pressure :-DDDDD

Can you cure paedophilia?
Because if society says you can then that's a sexuality. So like, they can't say you can with one and not another. Or something.

Other gays cure me of gayness
99% of them are repulsive.

Are you born a paedo, or do you become one?
Genuine question.

yeah, yeah take that
@rickygervais
You are person and loved by fundamentalist Christians from the moment you are conceived to the moment you come out as gay.

I'm loving her frantic attempts to construct a liberal straw man

Some peopel are born liking the opposite sex
Some people are born liking the same sex
Some people are born liking children
Some people are born liking animalsThey're all different sexualities. I'm not talking about consent or acts, I'm talking about desiiiiiiiiiire as U2 sang about.
fuck_this_band this'd this -
Oh those poor Christians, not being allowed to go around saying hateful nonsense whenever they please
Truly one of the great tragedies of our times :'(((

morrissey says that more gays
would = an end to war
-
If the thing being offered is legal
they probably should be allowed to advertise it- no matter how much it turns my stomach
-
How is
"Not gay! Post-gay, ex-gay and proud. Get over it!" a false advertising claim?
-
the article is so sloppily written that I'm not sure what's on the actual poster
this was the text from the ad that Boris veto'd; it's totally unclear if it's the same ad that's being ruled on, or something completely different.
-
It isn't.
But it's still false advertising as it promotes an organisation with impossible false aims.
-
The article basically reads like this:
Waaaaaaaahhhhh it's so unfaaaaiiirrrrrr.
-
until we know for a fact that homosexuality can't be 'cured'...
it's probably hypocritical of us to say.
-
similarly
you'd better not get in the way of my new business of curing cancer by poking people in the eye with a carrot
-
At least you SAY it'll be a "carrot".
-
they're rubbing salt in their wounds alright
metaphorical wounds
of a historically oppressed and marginalised group
....

fucking hell
this is easily the worst thing I've ever posted

I think it was once classified as a mental disorder in the DSM
but has since been declared as not being so (in one of the later revisions). I'm quite sure that's a worldwide thing, too.

puh-lease, that's pop music man
