“Every single day between now and then, LGBT people will be subjected to conversion therapy in Scotland, completely avoidable because of political cowardice of being too afraid to just stand up."

Our statement on the decision by the Scottish Government to drop the bill to ban conversion practices in this parliament.

[End Conversion Therapy Scotland @ECTScotland]

The proposals for a ban on conversion practices are ready & have been consulted on, the legislation can be brought to parliament this year. Instead the Scottish Government has chosen to kick it into the long grass.

This should be seen as what it is, a betrayal of LGBTQ+ people

[End Conversion Therapy Scotland @ECTScotland]

We must be clear what this is.

It's backsliding from a commitment made last year to deliver a Scottish bill based on the recommendions of the Scottish expert advisory group - made last year.

That commitment was to deliver that bill, not pass off responsibility to Westminster.

@baxterparp We read the programme for government. This is not a correction.

[Scot Gov Fairer @ScotGovFairer]

We are committed to ending harmful conversion practices in Scotland.

We will work with the UK Government to explore a joint approach to protecting people across the UK, but we will also continue to prepare devolved legislation should that not be possible.

[End Conversion Therapy Scotland @ECTScotland]

We know from years of experience with the campaign for a ban at Westminster that legislation progressed there will not come soon and will not deliver the world-leading legislation promised by @scotgov last year.

That promise is being broken. This PfG is giving up on progress.

[Equality Network @LGBTIScotland]

Conversion practices still happen in Scotland today.
They’re done on the false belief that LGBTQA+ people are broken and we need to be “fixed”.

We’re not, and these harmful practices have to end.

We are disappointed to see no firm commitment to a timeline for legislating on Conversion Practices in Scotland in today’s Programme for Government.

[Scottish Trans @ScottishTrans]

Conversion practices do not work - but they do cause lifelong harm to those that are subjected to them. Trans people are subjected to these harmful practices too.
That’s why any ban must be trans inclusive.

Our statement on the upcoming Programme for Government from @scotgov.

It is time to put policy into practice. This year we expect a commitment to deliver the ban.

[Cllr Blair Anderson @blairanderson35]

Good news! A year on from @GlasgowCC setting a 100% target, we have more schools than ever in Glasgow providing LGBTQ+ inclusive education 🏳️‍🌈

Today's progress report at Education Committee shows 82 of Glasgow's schools have completed @tiecampaign's Stage 1 Learning Module 🌈

[Equality Network @LGBTIScotland]

We recognise that this election period has been a very difficult time for LGBTI+ people. Particularly so when LGBTI+ identities (particularly the trans community) have been used as a political football by politicians and the mainstream media.

[Lived Experience Coordinator @GISLivedExpScot]

I’m running a survey to find out more about what matters to trans and non-binary people in Scotland when it come to choosing an NHS surgery provider

Pride in Edinburgh and promises that we will see a comprehensive and inclusive ban on conversion practices.

@MaggieChapman and @kaukabstewart speaking

[LGBT Health and Wellbeing @LGBTHealthy]

We consulted LGBT+ New Scots on how @scotgov's 2024 New Scots Strategy should support them to live well & thrive🌈

Good to hear from @kaukabstewart as she reiterated the aims of @scotgov to bring forward a comprehensive ban on conversion practices in Scotland!

I have come into possession of an email sent by Patrick Hunter of the Catholic Medical Assn to the Florida BoM, where he says Dr. Cass and her team met to share info with the Florida BoM.

Patrick Hunter was handpicked by DeSantis to ban care, and met with Cass to do so.
