‘Gay Cure’ Group’s London Bus Adverts Banned
I’m no fan of the Tory party in the UK, but it is interesting to contrast with US conservatives who have been regressing at an ever increasing rate:
The adverts were reportedly booked for two weeks by Core Issues to display on vehicles running on five routes in central London, including top tourist destinations such as St Paul’s Cathedral, Oxford Street, Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus.
Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London and the Conservative candidate for mayor in next month’s elections, said the suggestion that being gay was an illness was “clearly offensive” and added that he was “not prepared to have that suggestion driven around London on our buses”.
