What is conversion therapy and when will it be banned?
“Abhorrent” practices aimed at changing sexual orientation or gender identity will be banned, but not until further consultation. …
Some groups say a ban could infringe on traditional religious teachings, such as the belief that all sex outside a heterosexual marriage is sinful. The Evangelical Alliance, which says it represents 3,500 churches, has suggested an “expansive definition” of conversion therapy could restrict religious freedoms.
