Ban conversion therapy in New Zealand!

This petition is one of 18 petitions in the movement "Let's ban conversion therapy!."Learn more about the movement.

The Issue

Often called gay conversion therapy, it's illegal in some parts of the world, but not in New Zealand.

"Therapy" is being offered to "cure" people who find themselves attracted to the same sex, where their attraction is contrary to their own religious beliefs.

Currently the Human Rights Commision does not specifically ban conversion therapy, and neither do the Labour or Greens Rainbow policies.

We need to make all types of conversion therapy ("gay, Trans* etc") either banned or illegal to perform in New Zealand.
