Tonight I attended the ACON Honour Awards in Sydney as a guest of Equality Australia. The Campaign to Ban Conversion Practices in NSW was nominated in the Community Organisation category. I participated in the lived experience consultation with the NSW Ministry of Health and the Department of Justice and Communities who were tasked with drafting the legislation that was presented to parliament this year and passed into law. #conversiontherapy #conversionpractices #LGBTQ #australia

I still find it hard to believe that I got to tell some of my story and give my feedback to those bureaucrats now tasked with drafting the legislation to ban sexual orientation and gender identity conversation practices in NSW.

Birth certificates, conversion therapy and non-consensual surgeries: Alex Greenwich introduces Equality Bill to NSW Parliament, and it’s about frickin time

"NSW is essentially last in the country when it comes to LGBTIQA+ rights" said the MP in a statement.

@goatsarah Following the Committee's report a revised #BDMRR Bill was introduced and floodgates opened for submissions from LGBTQI+ supporters and anti-trans activists and a range of bystanders. Not as many submissions as on the related #ConversionTherapy #ConversionPractices Prohibition Bill that followed but lots of overlap of content and submitters.

Don't worry, both Bills passed in NZ but it was an anxious time for LGBTIQ+ community

Four years ago an almost anonymous bill began life in Parliament. This week that quiet bill turned up the volume, went loud and now commands attention.
