PINK NEWS: Boris Johnson has ditched his long-promised conversion therapy ban.
ITV News reported that an official briefing document confirms Johnson “has agreed we should not move forward with legislation to ban LGBT conversion therapy”.
This is despite a ban on the practice being announced in the Queen’s Speech last year, and the government running a major consultation on the issue.
A government spokesperson confirmed: “Having explored this sensitive issue in great depth the government has decided to proceed by reviewing how existing law can be deployed more effectively to prevent this in the quickest way possible, and explore the use of other non-legislative measures.”
Theresa May first promised to outlaw the practice in 2018.
The leaked document suggests the U-turn will be announced in May’s Queen’s Speech, and that the Ukraine war could be used as justification. . » | Reiss Smith | Thursday, March 31, 2022
This is indeed shameful! It shows us clearly that the man is duplicitous, unprincipled and weak. – Mark
