Dr Hans-Christian Raabe

Dr Hans-Christian Raabe, medical co-ordinator of Christian organisation CHW (Council for Health and Wholeness), has been appointed by Theresa May as a member of the Advisory Committee on the Misuse of Drugs.

The CHW talks about the health risks of "the homosexual lifestyle". A briefing document states: "The media and the gay movement portray the homosexual lifestyle as happy, healthy and fulfilled. However, the homosexual lifestyle is associated with a large number of very serious physical and emotional health consequences."

It adds: "A high proportion of homosexual men engage in a destructive lifestyle, for example contracting HIV/Aids or other STIs, and develop addictions to drugs or alcohol. There is a higher burden of depression, [and] attempted or completed suicide among the 'gay population'."

Raabe also co-authored a paper that claimed: "While the majority of homosexuals are not involved in paedophilia, it is of grave concern that there is a disproportionately greater number of homosexuals among paedophiles and an overlap between the gay movement and the movement to make paedophilia acceptable."

Bridget Phillipson MP, Labour member of the Home Office Select Committee Member, said:
“It is an absolute outrage that Theresa May has appointed someone with such horrific opinions to this senior role advising the Tory-led Government. Her decision raises serious questions about judgement and whether she is fulfilling her role as Minister for Equalities effectively.”
