Finnish Parliament supports a conversion therapy ban initiative.
MPs on Friday approved a citizens' initiative aimed at banning sexual orientation and gender identification conversion therapy in Finland.
Conversion therapy refers to methods aimed at trying to turn sexual minorities into heterosexuals. The practice is usually carried out by priests, pastoral care workers, and youth workers in some conservative religious communities.
Yle · Finnish Parliament supports a conversion therapy ban initiative.
This is a good video from Forrest Valkai knocking down a "let's protect conversion therapy" bill in Oklahoma, and criticizing conversion therapy in general.
But I have to say, it always bothers me that we see so many straight allies denouncing queer conversion therapy (which is a good thing), but I can't remember ever seeing even a single allistic person denounce ABA that way. Queer conversion therapy and ABA are the same thing, created by the same person, just done on different groups. It sucks that somehow being queer is worthy of people standing up for you, but being autistic is not. So we have to do it all ourselves without any help from allistics.
Every time I see someone stand up against conversion therapy, I want to reply NOW DO ABA! What will it take for people to care about us the way they care about everyone else?

Really?! Anti-LGBTQ conversion “therapy” is torture besides being ineffective. Perhaps these people should experience anti-straight “therapy”. Then maybe they’d have a clue.

Advocate.com · Supreme Court agrees to hear conversion therapy ban case
Ok, this is some serious camel nose under the tent shit right here. This is like the Gay Wedding Cake that never existed that they used to get to the Supremes. Three courts have ruled against this “counselor” who says she only wants to “talk about conversion therapy”, she doesn’t want to waterboard kids, or trap them in solitary freezing rooms, or smother them in blankets until they die....she doesn’t want to KILL gay kids, she only wants to make them feel bad so they kill themselves.
That the Supremes agreed to hear this case after multiple courts said she didn’t have cause or standing, is bad news for everyone, #lgbtq people and their allies.
If #conversionTherapy becomes legal, Ima need to train a lot of people in how to take over a building and free captives. I will go to prison as terrorist leader before I will let one more kid be punished for being themselves.
USA TODAY · Supreme Court takes up challenge to Colorado's ban on `conversion therapy' for LGBTQ+ minors
Continued thread
The challenged #law prohibits licensed therapists in #Colorado from performing #ConversionTherapy, which it defines to include efforts “to change an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity.” That includes trying“to eliminate or reduce sexual or romantic attraction or feelings toward individuals of the same sex.”
The law, adopted in 2019, allows treatments that provide “acceptance, support & understanding.”It exempts therapists“engaged in the practice of #religious ministry.”
#SCOTUS will hear a #FirstAmendment challenge to a #Colorado #law banning professional #counseling services engaged in #ConversionTherapy intended to change a minor’s #gender identity or #sexual orientation.
>20 states have similar laws, which are supported by leading #medical groups. Kaley Chiles, a licensed counselor, challenged the constitutionality of the Colorado law in federal court, saying it violated her rights to free speech & the free exercise of #religion.

Maybe Valentine’s Day is the perfect day to sign a petition to demand that the EU bans conversion practises?
Mastodonmcc (@mcc@mastodon.social)Hello EU people:
There is an EU citizen petition to ban the use of "conversion therapy" on LGBTQ+ folks (i.e., trying to de-LGBTQ us— a process often described as "torture"). If you're interested, you can sign it here:
https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/screen/home
Please especially take note if you are a national of Spain, Slovenia, Belgium, or the Netherlands; the petition needs about 5x as many votes as it has now, but also needs to hit a threshold in four additional countries, and those are the four closest.
We did it!
If you are in the EU, please sign this petition to ban conversion therapy. Ireland needs 450 signatures to reach its threshold. Let's goooo! #conversiontherapy #lgbti #rights #europeanunion https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/screen/home

Hello there, @AnnieWaldman at @ProPublica. Are you going to respond to this or any of the other stories about your recent reporting? You usually take more editorial care, and your network is usually more responsive to feedback, but so far, you've been silent on the feedback about promoting #ABA (which is #conversionTherapy against Autistics rather than LGBTQ+ folks) in your recent story, despite several prominent responses from #actuallyAutistic advocates and experts.
Readers expect more accountability from ProPublica than from the likes of the Murdoch media. Are we mistaken, or is a response forthcoming?
