A Christian group is accusing Boris Johnson of mishandling a ban on anti-gay posters from London public transport.

According to the Telegraph, The Christian Legal Centre is accusing Johnson of a ‘cover up’, saying the mayor pressured officials into banning the anti-gay ads that read 'Not Gay! Ex-Gay, Post-Gay and Proud. Get Over It!'.

The Christian Legal Centre has submitted a request under the Freedom of Information Act to see all the documentation involved in the case.

The Mayor of London’s decision to ban a Christian group’s ‘gay cure’ advert from London buses was not illegal, a court has ruled.

Core Issues Trust, a non-profit Christian group, was banned by Boris Johnson from running a campaign calling for respect of individuals who claim they have been 'cured' of homosexuality.

The advert, a parody of gay rights charity Stonewall's 'Some People Are Gay. Get Over It!', would have said 'Not Gay! Ex-Gay, Post-Gay and Proud. Get Over It!'

A Christian group is to go against Mayor Boris Johnson this week after he banned their ‘gay cure’ posters from London buses.

The Mayor of London refused to run the advertisements that promoted the group’s view homosexuals can be ‘cured’ by therapy, an idea condemned by the majority of worldwide health organizations.

Christian group Core Issues Trust say the mayor violated their freedom of speech, and hope to force Travel For London to use their adverts.

Mayor of London Boris Johnson has today (18 January) chosen a community interest company to run the city’s pride festival for the next five years.

But the decision has come so late that organizers now only have 115 days to put together a festival which usually takes a year to organize.

It comes after the previous organization running pride collapsed following 2012’s event. London had been hosting World Pride but it had to be drastically scaled back at the last minute due to a funding crisis.

Mayor Boris Johnson considered pulling out of supporting London’s World Pride event altogether when it became clear organizers were struggling.

The World Pride LGBT festival in the UK capital in 2012 became a major headache for City Hall when it had to be drastically scaled back with just 10 days to go.

A funding shortfall and other organizational problems saw the event scaled back with floats and other vehicles banned from the march.

Celebrities have thrown their weight behind a push to get marriage equality out of the debating chamber and onto the statute books in Britain.

The Lesbian and Gay Foundation (LGF), north-west England’s leading LGBT organization, is leading the Love Equal Marriage campaign.

The UK government has brought forward proposals for full marriage equality for England and Wales and the Scottish government is also taking action with both bills set to be debated in 2013.

A group which promises to make gay pride in London a 'beacon to the world' has announced its bid to run next year's event in the UK capital.

The London Community Pride (LCP) group have applied to the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, for the job of managing the annual event for the next five years.

Claiming to comprise of individuals with 'wide experience' in events organization and fundraising, LCP promises to use money made from the festival to support charities which work with and for the LGBT community, as well as finance pride in the future.

There are only three days left until the deadline closes for bids to run gay pride in the British capital.

Mayor of London Boris Johnson announced last Wednesday (24 October) that his team will review bids from non-profit, community-based organizations to run and develop pride in London over the next five years from 2013.

The deadline for interested parties closes on Friday (2 November).

The winning tender could be given grants by City Hall of up to £500,000 ($800,000 €619,000) with free use of Trafalgar Square in central London chucked into the deal.

Mayor of London Boris Johnson has said he doesn't 'see what the fuss is about' when it comes to same-sex marriage.

His comments come on the closing day of the Conservative Party's annual conference in Birmingham.

The conference has seen some in the party question Prime Minister David Cameron's support for same-sex marriage, led by former minister Anne Widdecombe and ex-Archbishop George Carey who made headlines by saying some gay marriage supporters were like Nazis.

A group of campaigners for a better LGBT pride in London have demanded the existing festival directors resign straight away.

They say that the last two people on the board of Pride London are delaying the community in setting up an event for 2013. .

The British capital hosted World Pride this year but plans for the parade and party had to be slashed at the last minute with bosses blaming a funding crisis.

It went ahead but with no formal street party and with no floats and vehicles allowed in the parade.

London Mayor Boris Johnson wants people to bid to run the city’s LGBT pride as confusion over the future of the event continues.

Johnson’s City Hall, which was criticized after the UK capital had to scale back World Pride it hosted in July, is apparently planning to call for tenders from potential pride organizers.

While LGBT pride in the city is independent and not technically ‘owned’ by the mayor, City Hall has traditionally put in £100,000 ($159,000 €126,000) to help make it happen, as well as donating Trafalgar Square in the heart of London for free.

Is the English legal establishment institutionally homophobic? That may seem an odd question, given the wealth of LGBT-positive initiatives put in place by police forces in recent years. But two recent prosecutions around gay pornography – of Michael Peacock in January for distributing it and of Simon Walsh for possessing it – are leading many in the non-straight community to raise an eyebrow.
