Make LGBT conversion therapy illegal in the UK
We know the government should:
make running conversion therapy in the UK a criminal offence
• forcing people to attend said conversion therapies a criminal offence
• sending people abroad in order to try to convert them a criminal offence
• protect individuals from conversion therapy
Despite all major counselling and psychotherapy bodies in the UK, including the NHS itself, condemning LGBT conversion therapy, it is still legal and LGBT individuals in the UK are still exposed to this psychological and emotional abuse to this day, which has life-long mentally damaging effects.
Conversion therapy is not a complex issue.
Make the act of purposefully trying to change someone’ else’s gender identities or sexuality a criminal offence.
It sickens us and it needs stopped.
