A prominent right-wing American pundit has defended his comments calling for kidnapping children of gay parents, saying it is 'God's law'.

Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association (AFA) tweeted on Tuesday (7 August) that we need an ‘Underground Railroad to deliver innocent children from same-sex households’.

In the last 24 hours Fischer defended the comments on his show Focal Point on the AFA network, saying: ‘God’s law, not man’s law, is to be followed’.

The president of one of the world's largest 'ex-gay' groups has again denounced gay cure therapy claiming there is 'no magic wand' to turn homosexuals straight.

Head of Exodus International Alan Chambers recently admitted curing someone of their sexuality is impossible, drawing concerns from far right Christian organizations.

A major rift has emerged in the international ex-gay movement with Exodus International president Alan Chambers declaring that homosexuality cannot be cured and admitting that attempts to do so could be harmful.

The organization had been using the slogan ‘change is possible’ as recently as three years ago but Chambers told the New York Times that ‘Exodus needs to move beyond that slogan.’

‘I [still] believe that any sexual expression outside of heterosexual, monogamous marriage is sinful according to the Bible,’ Chambers said.

The legalization of gay marriage in the UK will help fight the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV, health experts claim today (13 June).

In its response to the UK government's consultation on legalizing same-sex civil marriage in England and Wales, which closes tomorrow (14 June) at 11.59pm, the Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) says the historic legislation will improve the sexual health of gays, lesbians and bisexuals by reducing stigma.

A psychiatrist in the US has apologized for claiming that 'highly motivated' gays could turn straight.

In his 2001 study, Dr Robert Spitzer stated that gay men and women can change their sexual orientation if they want to, endorsing so-called 'reparative therapies' which claim to 'cure' people of homosexuality.

A Christian group which planned to run anti-gay adverts on London buses is seeking a judicial review of mayor Boris Johnson's decision to ban the campaign.

Anglican Mainstream and the Core Issues Trust claim Transport for London's refusal to run the advert, which read 'Not gay! Post-gay, ex-gay and proud. Get over it!', breached their rights to freedom of religion and expression.

London Mayor Boris Johnson has said he ordered the capital’s iconic buses not to carry homophobic adverts for fear of a backlash against Christians.

The adverts had been planned by right-wing Christian organizations the Core Issues Trust and Anglican Mainstream and implied gay people could be ‘cured’ saying: ‘Not gay! Post-gay, ex-gay and proud. Get over it!’

An American psychiatrist responsible for a 2001 study which suggested lesbian, gay and bisexual people could change their orientation has admitted he was wrong.

A rabbi, a bisexual Jewish therapist and gay Jews have condemned a comment article in the Jewish Telegraph that says gay religious people should be allowed to ‘cure’ their sexuality.

The British Jewish newspaper’s columnist Doreen Wachmann admits that ‘gay cures’ don’t ‘always work’ but says that they should be tried anyway, if people want to. She also claims there is a ‘fascism’ disallowing free speech on the subject among Orthodox Jews.

A lifeline for Chinese parents, who are often isolated and confused when their children come out, was launched this week by PFLAG China (Parents, Friends and Families of Lesbians and Gays).
