Rejected petition Make the practice of "Gay Conversion Therapy" illegal in the UK

No one should be told their identity is something that can be cured.
Conversion therapy is any form of treatment/psychotherapy which aims to reduce/stop same-sex attraction or to suppress a person's gender identity. It is based on an assumption that being LGBT is a mental illness that can be cured.
