Can it be done?

[Gaylord]

A Christian therapist who agreed to ‘convert’ a gay man who said he wanted to change his sexuality could be struck off the U.K’s Counselling Registry.

Lesley Pilkington faces sanctions for agreeing to help undercover journalist Patrick Strudwick become heterosexual. Strudwick secretly recorded Pilkington during two sessions and when he asked if she viewed homosexuality as ‘a mental illness, an addiction or an anti-religious phenomenon’, she replied ‘It is all of that.’

Strudwick, a journalist and gay rights activists, subsequently complained to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Mrs Pilkington is challenging the complaint on the grounds that homosexual orientation is ‘a lifestyle choice’, and says her method of therapy – Sexual Orientation Change Efforts (SOCE) – is legitimate and effective. She also claims that Pilkington unlawful entrapped her.

A lifestyle choice, or just the way it is?
