The equalities minister makes the remark after a week of backlash from LGBT+ campaigners.

Both Mr Johnson and his predecessor, Theresa May, have made pledges to ban gay conversion therapy in the UK, with the current PM calling it "absolutely abhorrent".

She added that the government did not "intend to stop those who wish to seek spiritual counselling as they explore their sexual orientation". "Kemi Badenoch, in her speech the other day, seemed to be leaving the stable door open so the primary form of conversion therapy, in religious settings, could continue to happen."

OH GET ON WITH IT!!! This conversion rubbish must come to an end! 🌈 What is she waiting for?

She did this over 1000 days ago. They are liars. They hoped this would quietly go away, a bit like Grenfell.

You mean 'repeats promise made 1000 days ago but still not delivered on'

Good news for the Turing Scheme! (Why is this still EVEN a thing - we should be fckin embarrassed/angry that it is)

Instead of banning gay conversion therapy Lynne Truss could just get Serco to take on the contract so it would never happen.

None of this would've been a problem had Henry VIII not started England off wrong course. He had a penchant for picking on people. His Buggery Act 1533 put all this into civil law. Seeing as he had plenty of vices himself he was hardly in a position to judge others on their lives

1000 days and counting since the Tories promised to end conversion therapy and today they promised to end conversion therapy!

They’ve promised this before why are they dragging their heels on this 🥴

conversion to what! this is the 21st century is it not?

Thank God for bringing bitcoin to man,it has being a passion for bitcoin trading. Now the poor are getting rich over night and the rich getting richer.great source of blessing to all of man kind who have SamuelEddy_15 thank you for your proper management

Good.

People who seek this therapy only do so because they have been made to feel uncomfortable with their current one.

I thought this was a thing already. Why does this law not exist in today’s world.

The fact that she is the minister for equality is just someone's idea of a joke. The issue of conversion 'therapy' is not complex as has been claimed by this government. It is abuse. Just ban it already.

If this includes banning M-F conversions...then great!!! trussliz

What? But I was thinking of having gay conversion therapy. It's boring being straight! I have to identify as a woman every time I want sex with a man.

When is she going to brush away the annoying woke?

damn bro these people need to stop being babies it's 2021 just let the people go to the concentration camps, jesus

Stupid, its driven by the GI lot and focussed on medicalisation of children - 'affirmation' - and is the conversion that must be highlighted. So fed up with this nonsense.

Good

Get to the root of the stinking problem. It’s not the therapy that needs banning it’s the underlying belief that being gay needs therapy. Something that’s troublesome or wrong with a person needs therapy. Legislate that being gay is normal and healthy. Saying otherwise is wrong.

I absolutely agree there should be no place for gay conversion therapy in the NHS. But if people want to go private then who are we to prevent them?

Better late than never!

Believe it when I see it

How is that even still a thing? Are we in the dark ages

Just do it - now! Ban it TODAY!

For those asking why it isn't already illegal, you would have to ask the pro trans lobbies that keep insisting gender be included. Sexuality conversion would be a relatively simple, common sense thing to ban, gender however, would stop all sorts of necessary processes.

Just as I was thinking about turning gay that clown Truss is gonna ban the therapy that would allow me to do so. Out of touch & another example of Tory right wing extremism

We allow children to convert their gender, why not allow adults to convert their sexuality?

sima_kotecha Liars , pants on 🔥.

Anyone told the DUPleader and duponline 😂

How the fuck has it not been banned already!?

Believe that when I see it.

Does anybody know the context that gay conversation therepy is being applied? I can only imagine it's a self-sought therepy. However, surely you'd need a referral from a trained professional, and being a professional, they'd be aware it's effectively witchcraft?

Ban it for under 18s and ban forcing anyone. If it’s free will why is it the governments business.

Isn't it amazing how much coverage the anti Boris BBC are giving this story. Time and again they latch on to any and every story the can find to smear is name. They truly hate Boris for taking us out of the EU against the BBCs wishes. This is clearly a vendetta, not just news.
