A Christian on the island of Malta is facing the possibility of a jail term for leaving the LGBT lifestyle he had adopted years earlier.
And then TALKING about his decision.
It is Fox News that is reporting on the dilemma facing Matthew Grech, 33.
He faces fines and prison for “allegedly falling afoul of his country’s ban on ‘conversion practices.’”
It seems he explained to local media when he left homosexuality behind because he came to believe, under Christianity, it is wrong.
The reporters who did the interviews also could face charges.
Grech told Fox he was interviewed by a group called PMnews, and then was confronted by police who served him with a summons to court.
Fox documented that “at no point” did Grech “invite anyone to attend therapy to change their sexual orientation or gender identity.”

He explained LGBT activists with influence over the government called police and now “he now faces up to €5,000 in fines or up to five months in prison if convicted of violating Article 3, Section 3 of Malta’s Affirmation of Sexual Orientation, Gender and Gender Expression Act.”
That makes it illegal to “advertise” conversion “practices.”
He’s being helped in his defense by the London-based Christian Legal Centre, where chief executive Andrea Williams said the government is violating Grech’s “Christian freedoms and fundamental right to free speech.”
Malta’s speech ban was adopted in 2016, and preceded similar moves against free speech that now are in place in 20 states in the United States.
Grech said he believes activists worldwide are using conversion therapy bans to silence opinions that dissent from their adopted ideologies.
EDITOR’S NOTE: What is behind the current war against America’s children? Why are so many adults killing their unborn children right up to the moment of birth, or even after? Why are millions of kids sexualized virtually from birth, and injected with an experimental “vaccine” proven to be both ineffective and dangerous, then as toddlers transported to events glorifying mentally ill, demonically possessed men dressed as women?
Why are America’s children systematically sexualized at school, and by transgender recruiters on social media platforms like TikTok, seducing many into “identifying” as the opposite gender, or a brand-new imaginary gender, then encouraged to take powerful drugs and hormones and have their healthy breasts amputated or undergo chemical or surgical castration?
Why are our children simultaneously indoctrinated with toxic Marxist ideologies like “critical race theory” intended to condition them to hate and reject their own country, parents, faith, race, gender and themselves? Why are they simultaneously being frightened of the future by being fed lurid, terrifying – and groundless – apocalyptic tales of the imminent destruction of the world due to global warming?
No wonder youth suicides have skyrocketed, as have depression, anxiety, addiction and drug overdoses. Indeed, fentanyl, the No. 1 cause of death of younger Americans 18 to 45, destroys multitudes of children annually.
Make no mistake: The harm being done to America’s children in this multi-front war is not accidental: Children are the primary target.
WHY? How can all this be happening in the greatest nation on earth? Who and what is behind it? And HOW CAN IT BE STOPPED?
