Fantastic news! We've reached 1 million votes! But please keep sharing and voting in case some votes are invalid!

EU citizens, please sign this petition to ban so-called "conversion therapy" in the EU. It's a practice that's extremely harmful towards LGBTQ+ people.

The site is a little slow, but keep trying!

https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/screen/home

It's already banned in some countries but we need a EU wide ban!

We now have eight countries past their thresholds, and we have at least 1,000,000 total votes.

So keep signing & voting!

@thisismissem Worth pointing out you only need to be a citizen, you don't need to currently reside there. So if you're in the UK, Switzerland, etc right now but hold a passport for an EU country, you can sign anyway.
Show threadEmelia 👸🏻May 13, 2025

@thisismissem I'm actually surprised Slovenia reached one of the highest levels among listed countries, though still not hitting the threshold. I'd consider my country very "traditional" and would expect the lowest participation, not highest. I guess times are changing and people are much more open now.

People from other countries also count to the total of signatures. It just *especially* needs also the threshold in a number of countries specifically.

@thisismissem

Your friendly neighbourhood copywriter has a tip:

You might want to phrase that differently. It's not clear what the percentages stand for. Is it the amount of votes that are missing, the amount of votes cast _ and in that case, why is Slovenia on it? – or something else?

Also, I signed.

Show threadDr. Théo Zimmermann 🏳️‍🌈May 14, 2025
@thisismissem Just in case some people think that signing is useless because they are from a country already above the threshold: that's not the case. It's very likely that the initiative will meet the 7 country threshold (Netherlands has made it already, and Slovenia is nearly there) and yet will fail to meet the global 1 000 000 signatures. So, right now, everybody must sign!
