Parents could face prosecution under UK bill banning ‘conversion therapy’– www.lifesitenews.com

(LifeSiteNews) — UK Equalities Minister Olivia Bailey has affirmed that the government’s proposed Conversion Practices bill will not exempt conversations with parents about gender identity or sexuality — and that the consequences for violating the law could be dire.

After successive governments — both Conservative and Labour — promised to ban so-called “conversion therapy,” the Labour government is moving to make good on the commitment. LGBT groups have been thrilled at the expansive approach the government appears to be taking. “Conversion practices are abuse, and the government will deliver the manifesto commitment to bring forward a trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices,” the government’s addendum stated.
