Online fury at radio show’s ‘gay cure’ promotion

RTÉ’s God Slot radio programme was subjected to a wave of criticism last night after it posed a question on Twitter asking if “gays can be cured of being gay”.

The posting added: “Try The God Slot Fri. 17/01”.

Within less than an hour of the tweet, people had taken to the social media site in their hundreds to express their outrage at its inference.
