Ban Arthur Goldberg from the United Kingdom.

Closed 86 signatures

What the petition asks

Arthur Goldberg wrote Light in the Closet: Torah, Homosexuality, and the Power to Change. He openly claimed homosexuality was a curable disease.
He was the Director of JONAH (Jews Offering New Alternatives to Homosexuality), which offered gay conversion therapy. It referred vulnerable young men in the USA, UK and around the world, struggling with their sexuality within the Jewish community to therapists for conversion.

JONAH was shut down by US courts but we believe he continues to operate conversion therapy organisations.
