There will always be people who see us as ‘infected’ by demons. But however it’s dressed up, treating someone as 'possessed' is extremely harmful. We desperately need the law to protect us, not to defer to those who believe in demonic possession. #Banconversionpractices

A ban would name conversion practices for what they are: abuse rooted in the belief that LGBTQ+ people need to be fixed or cured.

Graphic with a deep indigo background and white and lavender text. A small heading reads "Why we need a ban". The main text says: "Abuse dressed up as care is still abuse." Below it: "Survivors are so often told it's for their own good, that it's love, that it's help. Right now, the law struggles to see past that. A ban would name it for what it is." At the bottom are the hashtag #BackTheBill and a QR code labelled "Scan to write to your MP".

I welcome Bridget Phillipson's clear message: abuse intended to change who someone is has no place in modern Britain. Survivors, and trans people in particular, have waited years to hear this. Now the final law must protect everyone, and pass without further delay.

Conversion practices are abuse. They leave lasting scars – and they’re still legal in every part of the UK. We won’t stop until every LGBT+ person is protected and can live freely, without fear. [Button] Sign the petition

But conversion practices – from so-called coercive ‘therapy’ to 'exorcisms' – are still legal in every part of the UK. They leave lasting scars. They are abuse. We won’t stop until every LGBT+ person is protected.

No one should be told they can’t be who they are, or love who they love. Conversion practices targeting vulnerable people belong in the history books. But the Government STILL hasn’t banned them.

Congratulations to @lgbthumanists.bsky.social and the #BanConversionPractices coalition on this outcome, and thank you for your tireless campaigning. The law should protect victims, not those who seek to disguise abuse as religious compassion.

LGBTQ conversion practices are abuse.
They are ineffective, unscientific and inflict actual harm.
Four (almost) successive PMs committed to ending conversion practices yet we are still waiting on legislation.
This Government now has only a month to honour their commitment.
#BanConversionPractices
Today it has been reported that the Government are expected to end the current session of Parliament the week of 27 April. The Government committed to publish a draft Bill to ban conversion practices by the end of the parliamentary session. This was set out in their manifesto and in the last King’s speech. This means that the Government have only a month to publish the draft bill which they promised, otherwise they will on their commitment. Time is running out. Conversion practices are abuse and the LGBTQ+ community have waited long enough. We’re calling on the Government to honour its commitment and end this hard for good. They have one month to act.

Nearly 1 in 6 LGBTQ+ people report being threatened with or subjected to conversion practices.
Conversion practices are unscientific, ineffective and inflict actual harm on individuals.
It’s time for the Government to stop delaying and publish the draft Bill.
Please share.

Conversion practices remain legal. Harm continues.

If this matters to you, now is the time to pay attention, speak up, write to your MP and apply pressure.

It's shameful that conversion practices, that seek to change, ‘cure’ or supress LGBTQ+ people, are still legal in the UK today.

I stand with Stonewall in their campaign - conversion practices must be banned immediately.

Yesterday, EPOA co-handed over a joint statement calling for an EU-wide ban on conversion practices to Equality Commissioner Hadja Lahbib. Launched by ACT LGBT, the ECI is backed by the Pan-European Pride movement. Pride unites people. 🌈

I don't get labour, they're pushing to replace actualy health care with conversion "therapy" (i.e. torture) and this labour mp is pushing a ban, which is rightly should be. @kateosbornemp.bsky.social

It has been more than seven years since the LGBTQ+ community and allies were promised legislation to ban these harmful practices. We are continuing to campaign for a ban that protects all LGBTQ+ people from abuse, with no loopholes or exemptions.
