Core Issues' co-director Mike Davidson criticised the decision to axe the adverts, saying: "I didn't realise censorship was in place.

"We went through the correct channels and we were encouraged by the bus company to go through their procedures. They okayed it and now it has been pulled.

"I would be interested to know on what basis they have done that."


Because it's actually offensive to some people? :shrug:

I'd have let it go ahead, the public reaction would have caused more damage to groups like these then axing the adverts would have. By axing them you're giving them power. Let them make a show of themselves and let the public tear them down for it instead.

A Christian group is taking legal action against Mayor of London Boris Johnson after he banned bus advertisements suggesting gay people could be cured.

The posters, by the Core Issues Trust, stated: "Not gay! Post-gay, ex-gay and proud. Get over it!"

The adverts were backed by Anglican Mainstream, a global group that says it is committed to the traditional biblical teaching on marriage, the family and human sexuality.

It is understood that organisation has instructed solicitors after the banning of the campaign.

The poster was believed to mock pro-gay group Stonewall's adverts that said: "Some people are gay. Get over it."

:bored:

Just pathetic.

And seriously, as I said earlier in the thread, how come someone can be jailed for 50 days for making some racist remarks on Twitter, yet a large scale homophobic campaign like this is just brushed under the carpet? They are seriously pushing their luck if they think they can sue. Let's have a bit of consistency for once and imprison them for attempting to preach homophobic, bigoted beliefs.

Yeah, give them their rope to hang themselves

I actually did some reading up on Scientology, just out of curiosity, what a completely bizarre religion it is. The stupidest part of it is L Ron Hubbard was a science fiction writer who stated before he started the religion that the best way to make money was to start a religion :laugh:

"A Christian group is taking legal action against Mayor of London Boris Johnson "


They can Piss Off

Sounds like a good idea Dezzy.

Religion should be a personal view, not forced on people :idc:
