TOTAL ban of LGBTQIA+ “conversion therapy”

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Implement a total ban of LGBTQIA+ “conversion therapy”
No “religious” loophole, protect ALL queer and genderqueer people
Ban all forms of “conversion therapy”, from organised camps to parents telling children to “pray the gay away”
All LGBTQIA+ deserve to live free from abuse. “Conversion therapy” is abuse and a “religious” loophole would leave some queer and genderqueer people unprotected. No one should be forced to undergo “treatment” to “correct” their sexuality or gender identity.
