The British Medical Association has approved a motion that supports calls from a number of other professional organizations and gay and lesbian rights activists in rejecting so-called “conversion therapy” of homosexuals.  The organization calls on the NHS to “not fund ‘discredited’ conversion therapy for homosexual people,” according to the BMJ website.  The American Psychological Association has also taken a stand on these kinds of interventions, citing some of the prominent research on sexual orientation, pastoral counseling, and ethics.
