Think of God as a hunky, daddy type
• Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual
As a man who has had many happy (and sure unhappy) gay relationships I always find talk of converting gay men into heterosexuals repugnant. Living Waters is a fundamentalist sexual, affectional orientation ministry. This take on being gay is exceptionally bone-headed.
Central to the charity's philosophy is a belief that God can fulfil the father-figure role that Guinness claims is absent in most gay lives. 'The huge thing we focus on is God being our father - because most people are fatherless. With guys with a homosexual struggle, a lot of it is an eroticised need for a father, to be kind of covered and blessed.
'If you've got legitimate unmet needs when you go through puberty, they will become eroticised and they feel like they've taken on a life of their own, as if that's the sum total of who you are.'
