Does anyone care for a review?

It is 7 AM CEST. The EU citizen initiative calling for a ban on "conversion therapy" (here meaning, pseudoscientific attempts to "cure" LGBTQs) is less than 250,000 votes from success. This is astounding, the votes have like, *tripled* in a week.

The page says voting ends "May 17", and I wish I knew if that meant "at midnight tonight" or "midnight tomorrow" or what. Uh. Do you know

Germany is ~6,000 local votes from endorsing it. Are there 6,000 Germans on this website

OKAY WOW. WOW. THE WHOLE THING WHILE I WAS SLEEPING. WOW.

The EU citizen initiative petitioning the European Parliament to outlaw "conversion therapy" ("curing" LGBTs via torture) has met its threshold (1M votes and 8 countries supporting).

One week ago I sincerely thought y'all wouldn't make it. Amazing work Europe (and hi5 Germany, now country 8).

This is an incredible statement at a time the US/UK govt are forcing conversion (medical detransition) for trans minors.

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

@mcc I graphed it in realtime. Around lunchtime to mid afternoon it was getting more than 6 signatures per second for 4 hours straight.

@mcc

Oh wow, this is huge.

@mcc sounds like you should sleep more. Good things happen when you sleep. 😁
@mayintoronto I should definitely sleep more
@mcc I did sign it just today (from germany) not much more I can do other than boostin lol
@stefan Thank you for signing!

@stefan @mcc i also signed!

i sent it to my local poly group

@mcc I think it would be easier to collect votes if you added short information, how this therapy works and what it means for further life, how people concerned feel afterwards. This is not known in general.
@Tabby_Schaf @mcc This is a valid point. I shared this in some groups, a few people didn’t even know what conversion therapy is. At first, they mocked the title, but after I explained it, some of them changed their minds (not all, but at least a few did).
@mcc It's at 23h59 tomorrow, according to many different sources including the petition organizers.
@tarneo @mcc how many days did we already have? is it usual for these things to succeed?
@saxnot As you can see at the linked site, the collection period started a year ago. But it gained a lot of momentum in recent weeks and days, so it's possible they'll crack the million in time.
@saxnot @mcc The petition has been online for a year (this is the time window for signatures). But right now, we're seeing signature rates of 8 signatures per second, giving us good chances to succeed (according to my own very unscientific calculations, so take them with a grain of salt and don't lean back from promoting the petition or the calculations will become false !).
@saxnot @mcc Also, please don't quote me on this. If you want to tell others about this, either boost these two posts (including this one), or just don't. We'll all thank you 🙂
@saxnot @mcc Also remember that the night gap exists, since this is just Europe-wide 😉
@tarneo Tomorrow meaning the end of may 17?
@mcc Germany has gone from 75% yesterday to 93% now. Fewer than 4500 signatures needed ...
@ppscrv @mcc there are already enough countries above threshold, it wont matter whether Germany reaches 99% or 150%.. the important thing is getting the remaining 200.000 signatures overall from the entire EU
@nitrml A good and important point. I just want DE to get there, because it is where I live and I want to see the map change.
@ppscrv @nitrml yeah, I only called attention to Germany because Mastodon has a very large German contingent— I was being just a little jokey with my wording
@mcc @nitrml The map looks nicer. I'd like Sweden to make it, too; but the 1000000 is the target and it is getting close ...
@mcc not necessarily on this site. But there has been an Instagram story going around calling to action to sign it and last time yesterday I saw it it had 5k+ shares. So maybe it'll grow a bit more (especially around queer and kinksters it did).
@mcc less than 200k now!

@mcc it's also important** to mention that this is an official EU website, they already have the data you have to give them to sign - it's not like it's some mid shadiness proxy petition site

**maybe lowering activation energy for signature

@mcc Come on #Germany and #Portugal! It would be disappointing if we do not reach the threshold and the petition does not make it to the European Commission. It took 361 days to make 500000 people sign and it took two days for 300000 extra. I think it's possible to reach 1000000 today!
@Giselavbl @mcc Do we have to be citizens? I'm a legal resident of Portugal but not a citizen...
@reflex Yes I think you have to be a citizen of the EU
@mcc Germany reached the quorum a few minutes ago!
@mcc Fake news - Germany has made it!

@mcc steadily increasing at a rate of 500 votes/minute, IF this keeps up, it'll be done in around 5h :o

Of course keeping it up requires everyone's support in shouting it from the rooftops

@mcc I would imagine 23.59 CET (11.59pm Central Europe time) on Saturday 17 May
@mcc
I'm confused. The image says "minimum threshold in at least 7 countries", and on the map there are 7 countries colored as "have reached the threshold".
Sure, every vote counts, but I see no urgency for Germany in particular.
Am I mistaken?

@dalius_berger @mcc Even though Germany has passed its threshold, signatures from Germany still count!

We must reach a total of 1 mio for success.

There're only 47.000 missing at this time (14:18) and it doesn't mapper from which country the come.

So if you haven't already signed: Do it now, activate all your friends.

@mcc have just signed, from #Belgium

@mcc Yeah it's maddening that the exact closing time is not posted on the website. In normal business, I would assume that "deadline 17 May" means: submit by 16 May 23:59. But I have seen some people post with apparent confidence that it's 17 May 23:59.

(CEST? CET? Le sigh.)

Nur noch heute und morgen: Petition gegen Conversion Therapy! Viele Unterschriften braucht es nicht mehr!

@mcc

@mcc 50K in 3 hours so should be possible before midnight

@mcc the lesson, kids, is that society as a whole is an entity with ADHD, it will leave things for later and react very,very late — but just sometimes, it will go absolutely wild and passionate about it

@mcc Thank you for your help promoting!

Amazing, more than 900.000 signatures. Hundreds of thousands have signed this week.

EU citizens: IT REALLY TAKES ONE MINUTE TO SIGN. Just your name and your ID number. No registration, no electronic ID, nothing. DO IT NOW because the deadline is tomorrow.

@icaria36 @mcc aparently it depends on country what data it needs for signing.

for germany i needed name, adress and birth date. not the id number.

but yes its not much you need to enter.

@mcc this is not a website
@mirabilos You're not a website
@mcc France at 880% making everyone else look bad, hot damn

@cadellin @mcc
France might make 1000%

«ALLEZ LES BLEUX!»

@mcc 31k away from the million! Also, I don't know where to see that map, but I hope Sweden's got their shit together by now
@mcc would be amazing to see this get over the line in time for #Eurovision
@lpbkdotnet @mcc
Now only six and a half thousand votes left, needed to get it over the line! From two hundred thousand this morning!!

@lpbkdotnet @mcc

@mcc The initiative just reached the required million support statements 🤩, and Germany also crossed the threshold for support. As @thisismissem noted, it's still worth sharing and signing as some votes maybe invalid.

Attached: 1 image We're almost there! 669,667 votes of 1,000,000 collected! 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. 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 seven countries past their thresholds, BUT we need at least 1,000,000 total votes. We need another 330,000 more votes for this to reach . We can do it! So keep signing & voting! https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/screen/home #lgbtqia #europe
