Ulster University LGBT activists are calling on the Northern Ireland Education Authority to sack a board member after he shared an article of a gay man’s Christian conversion. Former DUP minister Nelson McCausland shared the testimony of Becket Cook, a former Hollywood set designer who lived a homosexual lifestyle until he encountered Jesus. Critics accused Mr McCausland of promoting “conversion therapy practices”, although nowhere in Cook’s interview with The Gospel Coalition does he mention having undergone any such therapy – even saying attempting to force someone to change their sexuality should not happen. ‘Upside down’ In the article Cook explains: “I had done everything in Hollywood, met everyone, travelled everywhere. Yet I was overwhelmed with emptiness”.
