The StraightWay Foundation is a Muslim ex-gay organisation based in the United Kingdom. They provide information and advice for Muslims that have 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.[1] NARTH has written favourably of the group.[2]
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.[3] Straightway responded to this by compiling a document to clarify fundamental issues about Islam and homosexuality.[4] They sent Livingstone a letter thanking him for his support of the controversial cleric.[5] Livingston then ignited controversy when he thanked Straightway for the letter.[6]
