Terms & Conditions

Conversion therapy, the forced conditioning against a person’s sexuality or gender identity, has damaged generations of LGBT+ young people and adults and continues to do so.

Do you believe that this practice should be brought to an end?

It's inhumane. Why on earth is it not banned yet?!

I am appalled to discover this has not already been criminalised.

Conversion therapy is torture.

It's time that this was outlawed. The Scottish public have very little awareness of what is involved in this practice. More needs to be done to expose the long term psychological damage by conversion therapies.

Much like the GRA, I'm amazed that this is something we still have to fight for

Conversion therapy is dangerous and no person should have to go through it. Nobody should have to change to fit societies standards, however society must become more compassionate. With a more accepting society lgbt+ communities will flourish. Please make conversion therapy illegal nobody's rights should have to be debated and equality should not be controversial.

Conversion therapy is a human rights violation and has no place in the 21st century. This must be banned.
