Core Issues advert.

On Monday (30 July 2014), a High Court judge will consider whether fresh evidence from the Mayor of London’s office shows that Boris Johnson personally ordered Transport for London to ban a Christian bus advertisement, and whether he did so for an improper purpose during his re-election campaign in 2012.
The advert by Core Issue Trust (CIT), which attested to the fact that people can change unwanted homosexual feelings, was in response to Stonewall’s campaign, “Some people are gay. Get over it!” which had been running on London buses for several months.
The ban on the Christian bus adverts took place during Boris Johnson’s campaign for re-election as Mayor of London, just a day before he addressed an election rally organised by Stonewall, the gay pressure group. Christian Concern.
