if you're an EU citizen please vote for the petition to ban conversion therapy in the EU https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/

its very close (19,000 left) despite looking like it was never gonna make it and its down to the wire. if you use the form method all you gotta do is put in your name and address. takes 2 minutes (maybe 4 cause the site is slow atm)

please 🙏

edit: the info required changes depending on what country you're from but if you're dutch like me the form method is super quick and easy

@eniko was the 38k accurate at the time of writing the toot?! did it really get 8k signatures in 10 minute?!?!
@cait it was accurate as of like half an hour ago yeah!
@eniko that's wild. I hope people aren't double signing it and stuff
@cait @eniko can't double-sign because signatures are certified with your local digital ID (though that happens through a different procedure depending on the country).
@gabrielesvelto @cait I'm Dutch and I didn't need to use digid, I just had to fill in first names, last name, and address
@eniko @gabrielesvelto same for Ireland
@cait @eniko I'm rather shocked that my exceptionally backwards country would require a digital signature but neither the Netherlands nor Ireland do 😅
@gabrielesvelto @eniko It helps that Ireland doesn't have an eIDAS-based system yet
@gabrielesvelto @cait @eniko Well, that's because Ireland doesn't have any mandatory ID cards to begin with.
