UK draft conversion practices bill faces criticism over loopholes that could weaken ban
By
QueerAF
Summary
The UK government has published its long-awaited draft Conversion Practices Bill, eight years after initially pledging a ban. While the bill is welcomed as a historic step against anti-LGBTQIA+ abuse, it faces widespread criticism for containing broad and vague loopholes that critics argue could render the ban ineffective and potentially serve as an "instruction manual for abuse." The legislation's shortcomings have sparked serious concerns that it may be a ban in name only, failing to adequately protect queer people from conversion practices.
