Parents who try to stop their children from having conversion therapy risk being prosecuted under new Labour law

The new Labour law targets anyone attempting to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity through conversion therapy, imposing a potential five-year jail term for violators. This includes parents who might seek to prevent their children from undergoing such practices. The law's introduction underscores a significant shift in protecting LGBTQ+ rights and challenging the ethics of conversion therapy. This move is crucial as it sends a clear message against practices that are widely regarded as harmful and unsupported by scientific evidence.
