Organised by Central London Humanists
Central London Humanists (CLH) are pleased to welcome Humanists UK, LGBT Humanists, Faith to Faithless and other local LGBTQ+ Rights organisations and charities to a Pride Month Panel on LGBTQ+ Equality and why must we ban conversion therapy for all. The event will take place at the Old Diorama Arts Centre in Kings Cross on July 20, 2022, from 7 pm to 9 pm.
Conversion therapy refers to practices intended to forcibly change an LGBTQ+ person's sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. This so-called 'therapy' or 'cure' involves abusive and violent practices experienced by LGBTQ+ people when others try to change, alter or suppress their identity.
In early 2022, the UK government announced that it will ban these practices for gay or bisexual people in England and Wales but not for transgender people. We believe that these abusive practices must be banned for all.
