>Appearing on BBC Scotland’s The Sunday Show, Gray — who kept his post when Swinney announced his cabinet last week — was asked if the Scottish government would go ahead with the new law banning conversion therapy.
>He said: “The first minister said, I think on Friday morning, that we are going to look at the consultation responses from the conversion therapy consultation and reflect upon them.
>“But we are committed to continuing with that legislation because it’s an important piece of legislation.”
Good to hear.
Based as fuck
Is reflecting on the consultation responses and then progressing with legislation in some form the same as committing to a ban?
What is there to reflect on if you are committed to banning it?
Will be interesting to see where Forbes lands on this.
Pretty sure her stance was conversion therapy should be allowed if the individual consents when asked last year.
Banning it is entirely a mainstream policy. I’m pleased to hear it’s not being cut.
Good, anyone pushing for this to remain legal shouldn’t be allowed near children.
Interesting how the same trans activists who decry these amendments tend to be unanimously supportive of [conversion therapy of lesbians](https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-57853385).
I completely understand and agree that Conversion Therapy should be banned for children.
However, I can imagine scenarios where adults are not happy with their sexuality and want help. In many cases I would assume this to be therapy with a goal of accepting who they are but is some cases they might want conversion therapy. In those cases it’s best to use qualified professionals and not leave it in the hands of enthusiastic amateurs.
I am not saying this to denigrate anyone, just to highlight that there are not always simple solutions.
Edit: looks like I’m talking shit. The curse of both siding hits again.
Push ahead? Really? I don’t know anyone who doesn’t agree with the ban. CT is basically torture.
Forbes’ll be crying herself to sleep the night
I don’t think I know a single person who’d be in favour of not banning it.
The only folk who could possibly oppose this will be the “WHITABOOT STRAIGHT PRIDE” losers we see in various newspapers comments sections.
