The proposed legislation would outlaw 'conversion' practices targeting people based on their sexuality or gender, officials said Tuesday.
By Emily Mae CzachorGovernment leaders in the U.K. pledged on Tuesday to revisit a piece of proposed legislation that would outlaw"conversion therapy" if passed — this time, with amended protections for transgender people in addition to other LGBTQ residents of England and Wales.
"It is right that this issue is tackled through a dedicated and tailored legislative approach, which is why we are announcing today that the Government will publish a draft Bill which will set out a proposed approach to ban conversion practices," the statement continued."The Bill will protect everyone, including those targeted on the basis of their sexuality, or being transgender.
At the time, then-Prime Minister Theresa May said"no one should ever have to hide who they are or who they love," while the government developed a 75-point plan to increase inclusivity for people who are LGBTQ. Althoughto prohibit promoting or conducting conversion practices have been drawn up since then, none were passed, and none included language applying the ban on conversion to transgender people.
