body has declared its support for a Scottish Government ban on conversion therapy, with the top trade unionist in the country saying “there can be no conflation” with the dangers posed by the practice.
The motion “unequivocally” supports the campaign to ban conversion therapy, as well as rejecting “any attacks on the conversion therapy ban, including attempts to usurp its meaning and attack or delegitimise health and other supports for trans people”. A consultation on banning conversion practices in Scotland closed earlier this month, with Equalities Minister Emma Roddick saying they have “absolutely no place in Scotland”.Once the Bill is drafted, it will proceed to Stage 1 where it will be sent to a committee for consideration, before being debated by MSPs in the chamber.We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
