    Over one million citizens signed the petition to ban conversion practices.

    We hear you.

    And our reply is firm:
    ✋🏼These interventions must end.

    Being LGBTIQ+ doesn’t need to be cured.

    Yet, conversion practices, relying on the false idea that LGBTIQ+ people are sick, still exist and are causing long-lasting psychological and physical damage.

    Your rights are an inseparable part of a true Union of Equality.

    We won’t let you down.🏳️‍🌈

          @EUCommission
          I think this poster has a big issue. The sentence “Conversion practices are not a cure”, implies that there is a cure, but this one is not one. And having a cure implies that you are talking about an illness. So even by using such a sentence, you are giving in to the idea of “it” being an illness, which I suppose your intentions are the opposite.

              @EUCommission Well, is it already banned and the ban enforced?
              If not, you are still letting us all down!

              BTW, maybe get a bit informed on the language to use!

                @EUCommission ban them for minors, fine. Let adults do what they want to do though. Don't try to limit my freedom where this freedom is not affecting others in any negative way.

                  @AngelaScholder @EUCommission They can't enforce it, that is the weakness of the commission. Only the member states can enforce it. But the commission will write a formal recommendation to the member states to adopt such a ban. Its sad, that even that recommendation is still in the future, considering how much even just the idea behind such "therapies" (Better: Torture) violates the human rights in all EU countries.

                    @EUCommission should have said: lgbtq+ not a disease. Next line: ban all "cures". Saying conversion therapy is not a cure one might imply that other things are. Sloppy work again

                          It's a harmful practice that is medically unsound and deeply harmful to those who undergo it. Do you think adults should be able to sign up for a lobotomy, too?

                            @DavidNorth @EUCommission I don't wish to have any freedom to force other people to do or not do anything. At the same time, I don't want my freedom to cause harm to myself taken away.

                              @Njord @EUCommission of course. Adults should be able to do whatever they want to themselves. You can smoke, you can drink - OBVIOUSLY harmful. Let's be consistent.

                                As of today, also 1,190,055 citizens signed the petition to demand the full suspension of the #EU-#Israel Association Agreement in view of Israel’s violations of human rights.

                                Do you hear them, as well?
                                You won't let them down either, will you?

                                  The EU actually put out a statement supporting people's right to undergo gender reassignment recently.

                                  "Conversion therapy" is something else entirely, It's a pseudoscientific "therapy" intended to make a person stop being LGBT+.

                                  Like a lot of quackery, it is both harmful and and ineffective, which is why they want to ban it

                                    Over one million citizens signed the petition to ban conversion practices.

                                    We hear you.

                                    And our reply is firm:
                                    ✋🏼These interventions must end.

                                    Being LGBTIQ+ doesn’t need to be cured.

                                    Yet, conversion practices, relying on the false idea that LGBTIQ+ people are sick, still exist and are causing long-lasting psychological and physical damage.

                                    Your rights are an inseparable part of a true Union of Equality.

                                    We won’t let you down.🏳️‍🌈

                                    @EUCommission Good, but I hope you don't shy away from Islamic etc. cases of this just for the sake of appearing politically correct. Tolerating intolerance and all that.

                                      @DavidNorth @EUCommission practically correct - I'm not interested in a conversion therapy, and I agree it's a harmful concept. It's more about the principle. I really don't like it when a government decides what is good or bad for me.

                                        Hello @Njord! Thank you for explaining, @PhoenixWright!

                                        We also included a definition of these practices in our response:
                                        Conversion practices on LGBTQ+ people are comprised of a diverse group of mental and physical manipulations, psycho-hypnotic indoctrinations (usually presented to public as “therapies”), medical and homoeopathic interventions, exorcism and other treatments enacted with the aim of altering Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity and Expression.
