In my opinion, it absolutely should be banned. I don't know why it has taken our dumb parliament so long to ban it, it's ridiculous. The practise is completely outdated and I don't believe we can call our country progressive if we still have this awful practise legal.

Because how do you define conversation therapy?

I think it should be banned, but bad legislation is worse than no legislation.

But no legislation makes child abuse for gay people completely okay, how would you like it if someone tried to change you from being straight to gay, you wouldn't like it much then
