This is an initiative to ban conversion therapy in the EU, if you are an EU citizen please consider signing it.

This is a more serious post than normal, but I feel this is important to share.

Objectives

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

The EU plays a key role in the protection of fundamental rights and should take actions to fight against all inhuman practices. The Commission should propose a directive adding conversion practices to the list of euro-crimes and/or amend the ongoing directive on equality (2008) to include a ban on these practices.

All member states should introduce a ban on conversion practices or review their current ones.

Objectives

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.

The EU plays a key role in the protection of fundamental rights and should take actions to fight against all inhuman practices. The Commission should propose a directive adding conversion practices to the list of euro-crimes and/or amend the ongoing directive on equality (2008) to include a ban on these practices.

Furthermore, to fight against the legislative moratorium, the Commission should also enforce a non-binding resolution calling for a widespread ban of conversion practices in the EU.

Finally, we call on the Commission to amend the Victims’ Rights Directive to establishes minimum standards on the rights, support and protection of victims of conversion practices.

All member states should introduce a ban on conversion practices or review their current ones.

Hoping that this is well received here and that some people here will be sensitive to this! Please consider signing if you can and sharing with anyone you think might sympathise! Your support is greatly appreciated!

LGBTQ rights are Human Rights

In the hopes that there are some EU citizens here, I call upon you all to sign and share this far and wide! In the hopes that we can reach the target and have this addressed at the EU level so that our rights and protections do not depend on the whims of National Governments!

Has been shared a few months back, however worth re-sharing for those that might have missed it! Previous post

This would be one of the greatest achievements if we can gather enough signatures to get the EU Comission to present legislation to this effect and get the EU Parliament to debate on it!

Oubliez pas les adelphes 😘

⚠️WARNING⚠️ certified NOT-A-SHITPOST!!

This is a petition from EU citizens, who believe conversion therapy should be explicitly illegal in the European Union. If this petition reaches 1 000 000 votes, and at least 7 EU member states have reached their own "threshold" of minimum local votes, the European Commision will be obligated to consider this. So please, if you are able, vote on this Citizen's Initiative, and share it with others! The submissions close May 17th, 2025.

Below is the description on the Initiative page:
