Transport chiefs ban anti–gay advert

Transport chiefs have banned an advert which suggested gay people could be cured.

The campaign, mimicking an initiative by pro-gay group Stonewall, claimed therapy could change sexual orientation and was due to run on London buses from next week.

But Transport for London last night confirmed the adverts had been scrapped after an outcry.

The adverts were reportedly booked by the Christian group Core Issues to display on vehicles running on five routes. The posters, backed by Anglican Mainstream, stated: “Not gay! Post-gay, ex-gay and proud. Get over it!”
