@jasmine @SecondUniverse And I will freely admit that I would like to see anti-gay and anti-trans #ConversionTherapy hard-banned (fully outlawed) not only out of straightforward sympathy for the targeted groups, but also because I would like to have a precedent for a hard ban on #ABA.

ty everyone for signing and signal boosting the conversion ban initiative! :3

Today is the deadline, but it got the 1mil signatures needed and met the minimum threshold of at least seven member states!

Now it's kinda off our hands and it's up to the EU Commission to make it happen, but thanks to everyone for making it in time! :3333

@EUCommission Therefore, it is of great importance that the EU bans #conversiontherapy which harms people and is named torture by the UN! It's against #HumanRights!

Here's the official petition - the last day, deadline! Please join, if you are *really* standing strong with #LGBTIQ+ communities: https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000001_en

Here's more information about what this unscientific so-called inhumane "therapy" is: https://www.globalcitizen.org/de/content/what-is-conversion-therapy-lgbtq/

EU-aloite eheytyshoitojen kieltämiseksi, auki vielä tänään. Vaikka tämä on jo yli vaaditun miljoonan rajan, kannattaa silti allekirjoittaa jos et vielä ole sitä tehnyt. Allekirjoitukset todennetaan vasta jälkikäteen ja siksi on hyvä olla ylimääräistä mahdollisimman paljon.

EU initiative to ban conversion practices. Please sign if not already. Validation of signatures happens afterwards so it is good to have as much extra signatures as possible.

In un giorno ci sono state più di 100k firme superando abbondantemente il minimo di 1 milione e, da non crederci, anche l'Italia ha superato la soglia minima nazionale

Ogni ulteriore firma è comunque utile e fa numero:
