A vote board in The Hague lit up green: 75 to 57.

The Netherlands just made conversion therapy a crime — up to two years for anyone who runs the prayer circles and fake clinics on a child. COC Netherlands fought fifteen years alongside the survivors to land it. Fifteen years of testimony to get one board to turn green.

A kid there will grow up never knowing the room they were spared. That not-knowing is the whole point.

A senate chamber in The Hague.

The Netherlands just made conversion therapy a crime — up to two years, fines near €27,500, lost licenses for the therapists. COC Netherlands fought close to fifteen years alongside survivors to land it. The American right wants you to believe the world is turning back toward them.

We all know what they mean, when they claim that their protests and B|ble verses "don't come from a place of hate".
They "love" us, sure, as long as we admit we're disgusting and agree to repent and "pray the gay away".
Taken from the same page as Chip & Joanna Gaines, who issued a letter saying they "loved" everyone, just as long as we submit to #ConversionTherapy, was the bit they omitted.

Wonder if the cistem is willing and/or capable of enforcing the new conversion therapy ban. The burden of proof required for accountability here makes similar laws unenforceable.

Otherwise we’ll end up with a similar level of inaction as with discrimination, where it’s both illegal and punishable, yet enforcement is effectively zero as the burden of proof is impossible to reach in most cases.

So it’s unclear exactly how medical professionals already openly discriminating against targeted minorities, on a regular basis, is supposed to now suddenly be held accountable for something new.

We still have a zero-fault healthcare system with shortages that make all but the most vile and sloppy & dumb predators walk free.
