A Christian charity for people voluntarily seeking to change sexual feelings is demanding Barclays Bank reinstate its account after winning a hefty settlement last month.
Barclays Digital billboards light up with pride colors and signs near Times Square on June 20, 2021, in New York City.
The organization reportedly received more than 300 hostile text messages amid the pressure campaign that began following a tweet by an activist on July 3, 2020. Dr. Michael Davidson, who serves as chief executive of the trust, said he personally received a text expressing a desire for his family to be raped and killed.
Davidson told FOX Business last month that Barclays' action against the organization has harmed its ability to open accounts at multiple other banks. "In terms of the implications, we just think that Barclays acted prematurely," Davidson said. "There's no therapy ban in this country, but they pre-empted it by really implicating us in a way that we believe is unfair and unreasonable. And we just feel that banks should not be taking this kind of initiative in bringing pressure on groups and responding to pressure from the LGBT.
"What we are doing is protecting personal freedom and autonomy," he said. "We don't think it's correct that therapists or politicians should mandate the direction that you can go in. We think this is a personal human right. You should have control as an autonomous human being in terms of the direction that you go in."
