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!

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!

Well actually i was surprised to know that the initiative gained 200k supports since april. Looks like it has doubled in the last month of the campain. And 1/4 of the current total seems to have been registered those last 10 days. That is very unfortunate that the initiative only starts to be wildely shared at the very end of the campain.

Thoughts of one of the organizer can be found here, for those who'd like to know more :
