Baptist Church Screens Controversial 'Gay Cure' Movie

A peaceful protest has been held in Belfast after a County Down Baptist Church screen a controversial movie billed as a 'gay cure'.

Alliance Councillor Patrick Brown attended the protest on the Lisburn Road to support the LGBT community.

Councillor Patrick Brown said: "I'm extremely disappointed to see a film of this nature being shown in Northern Ireland. Whilst I recognise the Church has every right to do so, the intolerant nature only seeks to ridicule and polarise our LGBT community and it is an extremely shameful decision.


"So called 'gay cure' therapies are fundamentally wrong and only serve as an attempt to stigmatize LGBT individuals and prey on vulnerable members of that community, many of who may already be experiencing suffering and distress in a society which consistently discriminates against their rights."
