Following a government ‘LGBT survey’, the government has announced that it now wants to ban what it calls ‘conversion therapy’.
Mike Davidson, director of Core Issues Trust, explains that for the government to simply ban the therapy, as though there is only one ideological perspective, is “unacceptable in this day and age.” A ban could end up criminalising simple conversations for those seeking help to turn away from unwanted sexual attractions, seriously inhibiting free speech and freedom of religion.
