UK Government: End "conversion therapy" now
Campaign content
UPDATE - NOVEMBER 2021
"Conversion therapy" or "gay cures" is the attempt to change someone's sexual orientation or gender identity. The practice has been described by professional bodies around the world as extremely harmful and even as torture. It often results in depression, drug addiction and suicide. Thousands of LGBT+ people in the UK are still subject to it each year.
The Conservative Government’s July 2018 LGBT+ Action Plan promised to end conversion therapy as a priority, with ministers at the time describing “gay cures” as “abuse of the worst kind”.
But now the Government has launched a public consultation, recommending that "consenting" adults SHOULD be able to undergo conversion therapy.
It should never be legally possible to consent to abuse. Religious "conversion practices" can cause deep and lasting trauma and must be banned completely.
Add your voice to close this loophole and ensure that the "conversion therapy" ban in the UK actually provides protection to LGBT+ people who need it!
Dear Ms Badenoch
In the 2018 LGBT Action Plan, the UK Government promised to end so-called "conversion therapies" in the UK.
Now a consultation has launched with a Government recommendation that consenting adults should be able to undergo "converstion therapy".
This potential loophole will leave LGBT+ communities vulnerable to ongoing abuse. It must be closed
No more half measures! Please legislate to end conversion therapy in the UK now!
