Straight Way Foundation

Straight Way Foundation

The StraightWay Foundation is a Muslim organisation based in the United Kingdom. They provide information and advice for Muslims who have unwanted same-sex attractions. They believe "that through following God's guidance", one may "cease to be" a homosexual. They teach that the male-female pair is the "basis for humanity's growth" and that homosexual acts "are forbidden by God". NARTH has written favourably of the group.

In 2004, Straightway entered into a controversy surrounding the then Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, and the controversial Islamic cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi. Many Muslims accused him of favouring Islamic fundamentalists, and not liberal and progressive Muslims. Straightway responded to this by compiling a document to clarify fundamental issues about Islam and homosexuality. They sent Livingstone a letter thanking him for his support of the controversial cleric. Livingston then ignited controversy when he thanked Straightway for the letter.

Conversion therapy, which is promoted by the StraightWay Foundation, has been condemned by all the major scientific organizations and institutions in the world.
