Rejected petition Ban anti-LGBTQ+ conversion therapy

The UK government has been promising a ban on anti-LGBTQIA+ conversion therapy since 2018, and have yet to approve meaningful legislation against the practice, which experts have said amounts to "torture".
The current Labour government needs to act immediately to ban conversion therapy.

More details

Labour has committed to banning LGBTQIA+ conversion therapy, however change has not come soon enough, and the government must prioritise a conversion therapy bill that includes protection for trans people.
Simon Blake, CEO of Stonewall, said: "Each day that conversion practices remain legal, they continue to cause untold suffering to LGBTQ+ people across the country – placing LGBTQ+ people at risk of harm."
