The Evangelical Alliance has written to the Prime Minister highlighting our concerns around the future of legislation addressing conversion therapy.
A series of leaks first disclosed the government were not planning on bringing forward legislation, and then a further change in plan following a backlash to that leak suggested legislation would be forthcoming but in a different form, applying to sexual orientation but not transgender. The Evangelical Alliance encourages the government to use existing laws to ensure that forced and abusive practices are tackled, while any new legislation ensure people are able to receive the support they choose including prayer and pastoral counselling. The current lack of clarity is helping no one.
