The British Medical Association in its annual meeting has said that gay cure therapies are harmful.

Over two-thirds of doctors in the meeting supported the rejection of gay treatments. The doctors have said that the Royal College of Psychiatrists and other mental health standard setting bodies should ban such treatments.

The Association has also said that all the health departments should examine the cases of conversion therapy, which are funded by the NHS.

A research, which was published last year, revealed that a sixth of registered British therapist and psychiatrists have tried to treat the homosexuality patients.

"Sexuality is such a fundamental part of who a person is that attempts to change it just result in significant confusion, depression and even suicide”, said Tom Dolphin. Tom proposed this motion.

On the other hand, Gareth Payne, a Cardiff Consultant Neurophysiologist has said that it cannot be proved that this conversion therapy is harmful for the people. He said that for a doctor, it is important to respect the requests of his patients.

This motion was stated, earlier this year, when gay journalist, Patrick Strudwick brought in light a list of therapists, who were exercising this treatment.
