Help ban conversion therapy in the EU

Post image

There is curently a citizen initiative to ban conversion therapy that needs 1 million signatures.

For those that don't know what it is, it's a pseudoscience that attempts to turn LGBTQ+ kids and adults into "normal" people through psychological or physical violence. It’s still happening all over the world, especially to children who are sent into "re-education" camps and while there are some country where it is banned there are still far too many where these practices are legal, including many in the EU.

There are only 4 days left and we are still missing 600,000 signatures. If you are a EU citizen, please sign this, it takes only 5 min and it might save lives.

Pass this along to all the people you think would be concerned by this. Together we might protect our european brothers and sisters, and especially children, from experiencing these terrible practices.

It doesn't take 5 minutes, you should change that. I was about to not click it, because I thought wtf, 5 minutes, thats pretty long for a signature, what hoops does the EU want me to jump through. Then it took less than a minute

Depending on your device it can be a bit slower. In any case, thank you and please forward it to any german Queer/Human right defense group you know, it could help save life !
