Excellent piece by @EmSargent who went undercover to explore 'conversion therapy' She accurately sets out impact of forensically trawling through her past looking for clues as to 'why she was gay' & the seeming reasonableness of her therapist It's abuse! thetimes.co.uk/article/ban-co…

Beautiful and moving piece in @thetimes today by @EmSargent - first Mother’s Day after her mother died. Grief is “a continual process of re-remembering that she’s gone”. Difficult weekend for all of us missing our mums.

Crikey, just how long is this journey going to take?! The can has been kicked so far down the road it's become a vintage item! Do they not understand how many LGBT+ lives they continue to ruin at this glacial pace? Other countries have acted to #banconversiontherapy much faster!

Still told to expect this tomorrow… but important to note it’ll be the promise of a draft bill. In other words, draft wording that MPs will scrutinise. How long will that take? TBC. It’s a baby step rather than a giant leap towards a ban. Would show new PM’s resolve tho.

"When she held the role previously she sought to fuel gender wars & speak against the need for a full ban on ‘conversion therapy’, rarely meeting with those she was tasked to protect. I am now deeply fearful for the wellbeing of #LGBTQ+ people in Britain" pinknews.co.uk/2022/10/26/kem…

She got WAFTAS, she got BAFTAS. What an absolute BALLER. I could not be more proud of @KayDLlew for telling her own story with such courage, talent and heart to create a phenomenal show that is changing lives 💫

The news that a ban on conversion therapy may not include protection for trans people is concerning. There remains a consensus among the below organisations that conversion therapy whether in relation to sexual orientation OR gender identity is unethical and potentially harmful

This is absolutely appalling behaviour by @10DowningStreet As I told @PaulBrandITV "How on earth are we ever to trust those in power when they renege on any promise that's been made & don't seem to understand the harm that so many are people facing right now in Britain today?"

EXCLUSIVE: The government has ditched its promised ban on conversion therapy. A briefing document leaked to @itvnews states "The PM has agreed we should not move forward with legislation to ban LGBT conversion therapy". It breaks 4 years of promises. itv.com/news/2022-03-3…

This is incredibly outrageous and saddening. There’s an incredible podcast series by @EmSargent about the disgusting and devastating effect of conversion therapy, if you don’t know why this is an absolutely disgusting u turn, I suggest a listen and then take to the streets
