No more broken promises: Pass the Conversion Practices Bill
“Make sure we tell people why this Bill matters – talk to your friends and family about it. Write to your MP and ask everyone you know to do the same.”
Stonewall has called on the LGBTQIA+ community to mobilise behind its campaign to get the draft Conversion Practices Bill into law.
The Draft Conversion Practices Bill is at a critical juncture as it undergoes pre-legislative scrutiny, with groups working to water down its trans-inclusive commitments and make the bill less robust for everyone.
Stonewall has launched a campaign encouraging people to write to their MPs and urge them to support the bill as it stands.
CEO Simon Blake spoke to Gay Times about this crucial moment for the bill: “This Bill is so important for anyone who has ever undergone the unthinkable horror of Conversion Practices and anyone who has ever been offered them.
“That should be reason enough for the whole LGBTQ+ community to unequivocally stand up for the Bill. There are some people who oppose the Bill because they do not believe in the rights and freedoms of everyone in the LGBTQ+ community or believe that existing legislation is good enough. I disagree, but their voices are loud.
