Matthew Grech attempts gay conversion therapy on UK journalist

Jun 20 2021

Core Issues Trust co-director and River of Love member Matthew Grech is in controversial water after attempting to change reporter Daniel Harding’s sexuality during gay conversion therapy. A reporter for UK news portal the ‘Sunday People’ posed as confused Joe Willis who is seeking guidance after being attracted to men all his life. Harding is himself gay, and had a conversation with Grech who claimed to have helped people ‘leave homosexuality behind.’

Ahead of the Zoom session, Grech informed ‘Joe’ that those wishing to ‘leave homosexuality behind’ need to work on being more assertive and being less shy. He also stated how people who ‘once identified as exclusively gay’ are now married and completely overcome same sex attraction.

Grech, who is not alien to controversy in relation to LGBTIQ+ issues and gay conversion, stated that his understanding is not ideological but actually scientific. He stated that nobody is born with same-sex relations but these are crafted through environmental factors. He also told Joe that homosexuality robs gay people of family as God intended family to be.

The Malta Gay Rights Movement (MGRM) is now considering filing a formal report to police against Grech. MGRM told TVM that they will be investigating the video call to see whether there is legal basis to file the report. Gay conversion therapy is illegal in Malta, but not in the UK. Campaigners are calling for the full ban, protesting that the delay is appalling.
