Pressure mounts for gay  conversion therapy ban

Children and churches will be affected if a proposed LGBT conversion therapy ban in Wales goes ahead.

And a new report setting out extreme proposals for a ban in England has been backed by lawyers and politicians.

A consultation published by the Welsh Government sets out plans for a wide-ranging ban on conversion therapy to include children – and churches. Referring – somewhat weakly – to the ‘potential for a perceived conflict of rights on the grounds of religious freedoms, expression and beliefs’, it is clear the government wants a ban on all forms of conversion therapy practices – including religious settings both in public and in private.
