Because it can't be altered you dipshit. And most medical professionals believe that your "therapy" causes enormous amounts of damage to people. Stop making out like everyone is out to get you.

Last I checked you are still free to believe that homosexuality is a sin, just like the rest of us are free to believe that you're completely nuts. You are not free to promote harmful therapies on the sides of buses, just like I'm not allowed to take out ads that say eating six packets of Haribos a week is a good cure for diabetes.

I am so fucking sick of homophobes - and particularly religious ones - baaawing about how not being allowed to spread their ugly, hateful views is 'an attack on free speech' and how positive talk about being LGBT - like anti-bullying stuff - is 'not fair' because they aren't allowed their own time in the spotlight.

Listen up, asshats - your 'free speech' is as dangerous and damaging as yelling 'fire' in a crowded theatre. Therefore, whether it be a 'religious' position or no, you DO NOT GET TO DO IT. Period, end of sentence.

And for the love of fucking everything, just *fuck off*.
