LONDON, July 5, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – The United Kingdom plans to impose a nationwide ban on any practice of reparative or “conversion” therapy for individuals experiencing same-sex attraction, unwanted or not, the government announced in a new report.
“[T]he abhorrent practice of conversion therapy is still alive in our country,” the Government Equalities Office (GEO) announced in its newly-released LGBT Action Plan for “improving the lives” of LGBT people. “We will bring forward proposals to end the practice of conversion therapy in the UK, and take further action on hate crime as part of our upcoming refresh of the 2016 Hate Crime Action Plan.”
The 4.5-million-pound ($5.9 million) report surveyed more than 108,000 LGBT individuals, NBC News reports. It “will set out concrete steps to deliver real and lasting change across society, from health and education to tackling discrimination and addressing the burning injustices that LGBT people face,” British Prime Minister Theresa May declared.
Citing that 2% of survey respondents have experienced “harmful” treatment and an additional 5% have been offered it, the GEO confirmed it intends to “fully consider all legislative and non-legislative options to prohibit promoting, offering or conducting conversion therapy.”
More than half of respondents said religious groups conducted their therapy, while others said it was carried out by medical professionals, community members, family members, or members of other kinds of unidentified organizations.
“[W]e are not prepared to stand idly by,” the report declared. “Our intent is protect people who are vulnerable to harm or violence, whether that occurs in a medical, commercial or faith-based context.”

And most homosexuals are pedophiles (often due to their own childhood rape trauma) and will continue the vicious cycle.
They are banning attempts to prevent child rape.
The mentally ill are no longer allowed to seek treatment.
Imagine looking forward to a life of getting buggered by hundreds of strange men - and the law says you’re stuck with it. No wonder there are so many suicides.
So you can change your sex?
But you can not change your sexual preference?
I usually treat unwanted homosexual attraction with a firm no. If that doesn’t work, a quick girly slap to the face usually does it. Is that now banned in the UK?
Truthoverpower: “Homosexual relationships are fine. Long term ones.”
Homosexual relationships are not fine. Unless you’re speaking of non-sexual, platonic friendships, but homosexual sexual relationships, long term or not, are unnatural and sinful. They are unnatural in that they go against the natural function of the human body, and sinful/evil in that they are against God’s will. Homosexual temptations are not sinful or unnatural, btw, but acting on them certainly is.
So this might include protecting women from acid attacks by adherents of a certain religious tradition?
Didn't think so.
Good point. If I had that problem and wanted to try that therapeutic approach, I certainly wouldn't ask Big Brother for his opinion.
anyone who is “questioning” if they are homosexual should only be encouraged to go whole hog and scarf “it” down.
same with “bi-sexuals”.
it is about recruitment and fresh meat, it isn’t about choice or mental health or happiness

The NHS page actually says that if you have gender disphoria (yet are attracted to the opposite chromosomal sex) you may find that after taking hormonal treatments you start finding yourself attracted to a different (same chromosomal) sex than before and not to worry or think about it, just go with it.
