Part 176. Conversion therapy ban off the agenda?

There was no mention of a full or partial ban on conversion therapy in the King's Speech today setting out the government's legislative proposals for the forthcoming parliamentary session.  No doubt fundamentalist conservative evangelicals are delighted. However the LBGTQ+ communities are outraged at the failure of government to fulfill its promises.

A junior minister appeared on television and claimed there are  legislative proposals not listed in the King's Speech and left open the question if a conversion therapy ban was one of them.  I have my doubts that there will be legislation this side of the next General Election.

My hope is organisations, including churches, opposed to conversion therapy will campaign vigorously for a ban. What the government has done is a disgrace and must be called out
