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?

Allowing this to be legal is inhumane.

Conversion therapy is an evil, disgusting and immoral practice that needs to be banned forever.

Torture of of a human being to closet their truth or be prevented from living ones truth should and forever should be illegal, and punishable. Lets commit ourselves to a Scotland, where everyone can live free from discrimination, fear and truth. away from the veil of ignorance and intolerance.

Conversion therapy is torture, pure and simple. It should be banned under law to protect the LGBTQIA+ community.
