If you're a registered citizen of the EU country make sure to sign this initiative!

We call on the European Commission to propose a binding legal ban on conversion practices targeting LGBTQ+ citizens in the European Union:

Conversion Practices are interventions aimed at changing, repressing or suppressing the sexual orientation, gender identity and/or gender expression of LGBTQ+ persons.

Such practices, due to their discriminatory, degrading, harmful and fraudulent nature have been qualified as torture by the United Nations, and are currently being banned in a growing number of States.

No I don't believe that they do. I don't think that the EU has a central registry of citizens. It is up to each country to register its citizens. I do believe that they may check that the people who sign up are real people, but I don't think that they can validate, by comparing to a central database.

I haven't heard of such a registry and it doesn't sound like a thing that the EU would be working towards. I already have an account with them though, that I created a few years ago, but they only asked for an email and for me to validate it.
