so unless it is a 'Pro Ghey' Msg, you cannot post an Advert on the side of a London Bus
Censorship? London Mayor Bans ‘Not Gay! Ex-Gay, Post-Gay and Proud’ Bus Ads (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/censorship-london-mayor-bans-not-gay-ex-gay-post-gay-and-proud-bus-ads/)
The intention of the advertisements seemed to be an effort to defend those individuals who no longer consider themselves homosexual — a controversial transformation and notion that many gay activists deem an impossibility. The Christian Post has more:
The advert featured the slogan: “Not gay! Ex-gay, Post-gay and proud. Get over it!”
It had been due to appear on London buses along five routes for two weeks, starting Monday.
The ad had previously been cleared by advertising regulators and given the go-ahead, however, London Mayor Boris Johnson weighed in on the issue, using his position as chairman of Transport for London to ban it from London’s buses.
According to Johnson, London has an obligation to be “intolerant of intolerance.” The mayor went on to say that it is offensive, in his view, to claim that being gay is an illness that can be recovered from. This mere suggestion, Johnson claims, was enough to cause him to implement the ban.
U.K. Christian groups Anglican Mainstream and Core Issues Trust — the groups that originated the ads — are charging that Johnson is unfairly censoring them.
