The Houses of Parliament debated conversion therapy this evening. So-called conversion so-called therapy promises to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. The petition is entitled, “Make LGBT conversion therapy illegal in the UK”. The prayer of the petition states that“I would like the Government to: • 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, 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. He resumed: “The law gives the victims the opportunity to go to the police and, therefore, to have a weapon in their hand against the source of a conversion therapy.
