Trying to “Pray the Gay Away” nearly killed me. I’m not the only one.

LGBTQA+ conversion practices cause depression, self-loathing and even suicide. I prayed to God asking him to either heal me, or kill me. I was so depressed, I wanted to die. The trauma associated with that part of my life still affects me - how could it not?

How is this legal?

I don’t want to see a single person harmed by an ideology that tells them that something that is innate in them is evil or demonic or needs to be ‘healed’.

Please, sign this petition calling for the Prime Minister and the Health Minister to work with each state to protect the most vulnerable and outlaw LGBTQA+ conversion practices and their advocacy nationwide. It has no place in Australia and certainly not in the lives of minors.

*UPDATE* After signing this petition, please read the recommendations in the survivor statement at www.SOGICEsurvivors.com.au
