In July 2008 he offered two talks at the Lambeth Conference in Kent where he discussed being "gay and Christian" and about the dangers of conversion therapy. In an article for the British newspaper "The Times" Toscano spoke of the ex-gay movement in Great Britain: It is a far more subtle seduction over here,' he says.
