Bishop: Gays should see a doctor
 The bishop has been outspoken in his condemnation of homosexuality 
Gays and lesbians should go to a psychiatrist to try to become
heterosexual, a senior church leader has said.
The Bishop of Chester, the Right Rev Dr Peter Forster, said some
homosexuals could "reorientate" themselves with medical help.

"A bishop who angered homosexuals by suggesting theyseek a psychiatric  
cure is to be investigated by police to see if his outspoken views  
amount to a criminal offence, it emerged yesterday.

The Rt Rev Dr Peter Forster, the Bishop of Chester, infuriated  
homosexuals both in and out of the Church of England when he said last  
week that they could and should seek medical help to "reorientate"  
themselves.

The Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement (the LGCM) accused him of  
putting forward an "offensive" and "scandalous" argument from a bygone  
age.

Cheshire Police have said that they are to investigate his comments,  
made in the local paper, the Chester Chronicle, after receiving a  
complaint that his views may incite people to turn against  
homosexuals."
