6,000+ people have now signed a petition to #BanConversionTherapy in Northern Ireland.

It's time to end this harmful practice by fake 'counsellors’ telling LGBT+ people they are ‘sick’ and promising to ‘heal’ them.

Tell China to stop targeting Uighurs.

Up to one million people are being arbitrarily detained in “re-education” camps in China’s north-western Xinjiang. With your support we can pressure the authorities to stop these human rights violations. https://t.co/KcDBWCkLX6

[Patrick Corrigan @PatrickCorrigan]

This weak statement will be music to the ears of the fake 'counsellors’ and groups who target LGBT+ people with harmful conversion 'therapy', telling them they are ‘sick’ due to their sexual orientation or gender identity.
NI @healthdpt must do better: #BanConversionTherapy
