A proposed bus advert by a Christian group would have been like a "slap in the face" to gay charity Stonewall over an anti-bullying message, the High Court has heard.
Transport for London banned the Core Issues Trust's "ex-gay" advert because it could cause "widespread offence".
It told the court there was a "storm of protest" as news of the advert spread.
TfL said the mayor was aware but denied he influenced the decision, weeks before an election.
The advert, which was to read "Not Gay! Ex-Gay, Post-Gay and Proud. Get over it!" was also paid for by Christian group Anglican Mainstream.
Dr Michael Davidson, co-director of the Core Issues Trust, is asking the court for permission to have a judicial review against TfL's decision to ban the adverts.
