A Northern Ireland-registered charity held a conference in Poland where delegates learned about transition treatment methods, how radical Christian leaders met with British MPs and lords to persuade them to fight against change treatment bans, and asked whether circumcision may get rid of “LGBT freaks” just days after Rishi Sunak officially dropped plans to impose one.
Polish psychologists, American doctors, Malaysian religious leaders, Slovakian officials, Norwegian pornography competitors, self-described British “ex-gays,” and German medics attended the event, which was organized by the International Foundation for Therapeutic and Counseling Choice (IFTCC), a London-based organization that claims to be “a home for the once-gay.”
From October 27 to 29, the event, which was held in a hotel outside of Warsaw, drew more than 220 individuals from 34 different nations. 23 speakers delivered 37 classes.
The Core Issues Trust, which has the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland’s registration, is behind the IFTCC job. Its mission is to help “those leaving LGBT names, behaviors, sights, and life options.”
The public face of the IFTCC, which claims to “promote a caring, non-judgmental training culture” for people seeking help about gender issues, has been identified through cross-border research by Byline Times, European newspapers Die Tageszeitung, and independent Russian exiled investigative media shop iStories Media.
Supernatural Evil
The IFTCC occasion initially gave the impression of being just another common conference. Between lessons, members sipped filter espresso and chatted briefly about the climate in Poland. However, it was obvious that this meeting was anything but typical after listening to the presentations, such as one by an American college professor who described how a variety of techniques and the power of the Holy Spirit had “break down the walls of this same-sex attraction house.”
Dr. Laura Haynes, an IFTCC state representative and licensed counselor, explained how she had witnessed even “liberal relatives” fighting against this purported philosophy during a Q& during which an attendee asked what could be done about the “toxic LGBT philosophy.” She claimed that this was taking place because these liberal parents claim to be dealing with “supernatural evil” when their child returns home saying they are gay.
She told the global market, “Some have said that this has led them to believe that there might be divine nice, there may be a god.” Perhaps the devil can carry out God’s will occasionally.
The event was a great chance for Fiona Wyatt, an active supporter of the Core Issues Trust who co-hosted the organizations ‘ “The Pilgrim’s Method-The Journey” faith set with her husband Simon, the core issues trust director, to discuss the difficulties she encountered for opposing the “LGBTQ agenda.”
The Bethel Christian Assembly, the congregation led by Simon Wyatt, had its contract terminated, supposedly as a result of the discovery of its anti-gay ideas. Fiona Wyatt sent an email to church users giving them a sample of how to talk to the government after learning that rainbow-colored zebra crossings were being painted in her neighborhood. The rent was terminated as soon as the caregiver discovered this internet and shared its components.
Fiona outlined her goal of “doing some research about what’s actually happening, the actually true.” Do we have castrated these LGBT oddities? She chuckled. ” What should we do?” We must be informed.
Although many of the convention sessions were digitally recorded and made available to supporters, the videos that were made public did not contain any explicit language like this.
At the three-day event, a number of participants expressed their deep worth in being able to interact with friends and express their true opinions and emotions about LGBT people without fear of censorship.
According to a number of international human rights organizations, change procedures can be compared to torture. These practices “may number to torture depending on the circumstances, especially the intensity of physical and mental pain and anguish inflicted,” according to a speech on conversion therapy from the Independent Forensic Expert Group, an organization founded by the International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims.
The Core Issues Trust and IFTCC both state that they do not support, training, or promote transition treatment.

When Gay-Never Anymore
Members of X-Out-Loud, a party that identify as ex-gay, offered helpful assistance throughout the event, doing anything from assisting with staffing the pop-up book shop to bringing tardy delegates into sessions.
These primarily younger people were portrayed as living proof that it is possible to conquer homosexuality through “healing from God” by donning black T-shirts with the slogan “once gay- no nowadays” in rainbow colors.
Members of X-Out-Loud “share their stories of leaving LGBT personalities or lifestyles, following a specific meeting with Jesus,” as part of the Core Issues Trust project. Many members of X-Out-Loud gathered in front of The Church House, the location of the Church of England’s offices, during the most recent Synod in November to protest against same-sex blessings.
The initiative is effective website and on social media, ranging from books like X-Out Loud: Emerging Ex–LGBT Voices, which features 44 testimonies from people in 22 countries who report having left LGBT identities, to a movie called After Gay, Matthew, and Friends, in which actor Matthew Grech discusses what he sees as the “must-stay-gay” culture.
According to a report from the US non-profit Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, X-Out- Audible “co-opts and warps the speech of the LGBTQ+ right activity for its own ends.”
Conversion therapy is viewed negatively by all significant counseling and counseling organizations in the UK, including the NHS and British Psychological Society, and they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding that expresses their “commitment to ending the practice of” conversion therapy here.
Interests on a worldwide scale
Many of the IFTCC conference’s organizations may have their headquarters in London, but well-known evangelical Christian organizations are working to expand their control outside the money.
Chief executive Andrea Williams, the leader of the non-profit advocacy organization Christian Concern, gave lengthy speeches at the meeting on a variety of subjects, including how contraception in the UK is “legalized holocaust” and how to combat anti-discrimination changes around the world.
Williams remarked at the convention, “One of my excellent characters is Shirley Richards in Jamaica, who has been fighting against the decriminalization of buggery laws in her country.” “Due to the changing of corporations and words as a result of decriminalization.” If you don’t support this new agenda, you will be silenced and criminalized because of anti-discrimination and equal rights.
Williams served as a producer of the Core Issues Trust from October 2015 until May 2019, according to Companies House files.
Williams traveled to the British Virgin Islands, South Africa, and South Korea on April 12 of this year, according to a post from the Christian Concern account on X (previously Twitter), in an effort to “bolster Christians seeking to stand firm in the face of another kingdom-of LGBT ideology.”
Matthew Grech, an X-Out- Loud representative and self-described ex-gay, is being supported by The Christian Legal Centre, a division of Christian Concern, as he faces charges of publicizing conversion techniques in Malta, where transformation therapy is prohibited.
Williams and Christian Concern have actively worked to prevent a bill banning conversion treatment from becoming law in the UK.
Andrea Williams stated in an email to Christian Concern supporters that meeting MPs and Lords face-to-face to help them understand that a restrictions would be dangerous and not necessary was part of the “hard, multi-faceted job” the organization carried out to prevent the restrictions. She wrote, “By God’s joy, we have made extraordinary progress in this battle.”
Williams stated during one of her convention sessions that while pro-gay activists advocate for the decriminalization of homosexuality globally, each country is free to enact its own legal laws.
Williams is then laying out a strategy that, if successful, would move back decades of hard-won human rights legislation, including same-sex marriage and anti-discrimination laws, after being inspired by the powerful campaign to stop conversion therapy from being outlawed in the UK.
Nothing will be able to stop us, according to Williams, “because we are working together to create a global response by establishing worldwide training facilities, global presence, and global funding.”
The International Declaration on “Conversion Therapy” and Medical Choice, according to Mike Davidson, president of the IFTCC, CEO of Core Issues Trust, and co-director of X-Out-Loud Europe, reflects the organization’s expertise on the research literature on sexual orientation and gender incongruence. The social declarations and practice standards we promote in those who associate with us are reflected in our policy documents.
Davidson directed the reader to the IFTCC web rather than responding to any of the questions in this newspaper.
