“There is nothing to be cured.
The National Assembly unanimously adopted the bill against conversion therapy on Wednesday.
These “therapies”, often linked to religion, consider members of the LGBTQIA + community to be sick and in need of treatment.
Forced medication, humiliation sessions, forced marriages, rapes and excisions are used to discriminate against the victims of these systems.
“These abject practices are carried out by people who use religion or supposedly scientific knowledge to justify their actions.

If adopted by the Senate, this ban would mark a turning point in the fight against discrimination against members of the LGBTQIA + community and France would thus join countries like India, Germany and Brazil in this ban.
