UK moves to criminalise gender and sexuality conversion therapies.​


  • Government publishes draft Conversion Practices Bill for England and Wales, banning so-called 'conversion therapies'.
  • Offenders carrying out such practices could ⁠face an unlimited fine and/or up to five years in prison.
  • Bill would also criminalise encouraging or assisting conversion therapies carried out outside England and Wales.
  • Britain pledged to ban conversion practices in 2021, with a further commitment in January 2023.
  • Measures in ‌the ⁠draft bill would also create civil protections similar to those for forced marriage and female genital mutilation to protect those at ⁠risk of abuse.
  • The legislation includes exemptions for what was described as legitimate healthcare, allowing therapists ⁠and counsellors to continue open conversations about sexuality and identity.
  • The proposed bill ⁠will undergo pre-legislative scrutiny before being introduced to parliament for further debate.

Just goes to show how long it's been since I've been inside a hospital; I didn't even know they were segregated in the first place. I figured the individual rooms were private enough for it to not matter.
