The Conversion Therapy Prohibition (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity) Bill in the Lords would make it illegal to perform or promote conversion therapy aimed at changing a person's sexual orientation or gender identity. It is designed to protect people from coercive or harmful practices and sets out offences and penalties for those who provide or promote such therapy. The bill aims to advance equality and civil rights in the UK.
The bill is currently at the 2nd reading in the Lords. After this stage, it will proceed to committee scrutiny and further readings before potentially moving to the House of Commons.
