The British government has announced that it will ban the harmful and widely discredited practice of Gay conversion therapy -- which consists in trying to change an individual’s sexual orientation. This is part of a 4.5-million-pound ($5.9 million) effort to make society more inclusive for LGBT people. The government says it will "eradicate the abhorrent practice." Our petition has reached over 40,500 signatures from citizens asking Canada to ban conversion therapy. On behalf of all young persons struggling with self acceptance: thank you! We are confident Canada’s Minister of Families, Children and Social Development Jean-Yves Duclos will lead the development of policies and legislation to prevent any organization or individual from attempting to alter the sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression of any person under the age of majority. Our country proudly promotes a culture of inclusiveness and diversity. Share the word with your contacts and encourage Canada to follow the United Kingdom’s lead!
