Deletion of Core Issues Trust (CIT) Facebook Page
Without warning, Facebook has permanently deleted the Core Issues Trust page, claiming that the charity is in breach of its community standards.

OSCE Intervention – 29th September 2016. Gender Mainstreaming: the UK’s challenge in guarding their children
This Intervention (from the Christian Legal Centre and Core Issues Trust) aimed to draw attention to Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE), now endorsed by the UN – which promotes age-inappropriate sexual pleasuring through state initiatives, in UK Schools. The ideological basis of the philosophy informing this remains alien to many parents of those being taught according to such values, whose views are over-ridden and marginalized. In a side event following the session various instances in the UK where a high level of state-supported ideological intolerance is evident, were described…

New Study: Sexuality and Gender
The understanding of sexual orientation as an innate, biologically fixed property of human beings — the idea that people are “born that way” — is not supported by scientific evidence.
Pastoral Care or Accommodation?
Pastoral Care for all is an imperative for the church. What could count as “Pastoral Care” which would leave intact a firm commitment by the Church of England to man-woman marriage and recognize that same-sex activity is contrary to the teaching of the Bible and of the entire Christian church since the time of Jesus, as evidenced by Fortson and Grams in Unchanging Witness (BH Academic 2016)?
Church of England to Launch LGBT congregation
The Bishop of Wolverhampton makes a false and dangerous claim by saying that same-sex attraction is ‘God-given’. This is contrary to Scripture and undermines the Creation order of one-man, one-woman marriage, that is designed to be a reflection of Christ and His bride, the Church. Claiming that homosexuality, or indeed bisexuality, is God-given suggests that God condones same-sex relationships. This, as is apparent throughout His Word, is not the case.”
The appalling choice: accept your homosexuality or euthanise
Radical gay activists and the helping professionals promoting their ideology have a great deal to answer for. They have created the idea that we are born gay, and that there is only one legitimate response to that fact, which is to embrace it…He simply doesn’t want to be gay and finds burdensome the limerent feelings he develops with young men. The only alternative he is aware of is to end his life, or, if the Victoria Derbyshire report is to believed, access to electro-shock therapy.

CIT Comment on Living Out’s Repudiation of Therapeutic Support …
Core Issues Trust does not support the position, which is now embraced by increasing numbers of UK evangelicals, promoting a category of ‘gay self-acceptance’ rather than hope of change. This ‘conservative gay-affirming’ position equates unwanted same-sex inclinations to ‘orientation’ regardless of whether or not these have been acted on.
Gender Idology Harms Children: American College of Pediatricians

TFL vs CIT Costs (£8,870.87) paid in full!
We thank God for all those supporters who have helped in raising a considerable sum required, we believe unfairly, by Transport for London, in respect of the London Bus Case in which we opposed the promotion of a categorical understanding of homosexuality in the public space. We believe individuals should have the right and freedom to leave unwanted sexual practices and be supported by professionals to do so. This case demonstrates the silencing imposed on any dissenting position and with no regard to the emerging evidence that sexuality is fluid and changeable for many.
