There is a citizens initiative for achieving a ban on all LGBTQ+ targeted conversion therapy practices across all member states of the European Union. However for this initiative to progress, there is a requirement for **1 million** signatures in order for the commission bring it before the EU parliament for debate. The collection period for signatures ends 17 May 2025.

To support a European Citizen's Initiative, you need to meet the following criteria:
- You need to be an EU national
- You must be old enough to vote in European Parliament elections (18 in most countries but some lowered the age to 16 for ECIs as shown in the following: citizens-initiative.europa.eu/

If you have any other questions, they might get answered in the FAQ at citizens-initiative.europa.eu/

@Pheebe I can't seem to go to those URLs. They are non-clickable in both my mastodon app and on the tech.lgbt web post in my browser, and the URLs themselves appear truncated in the post so I can't copy them either. Would you mind posting the initiative URL again?

Edit: Maybe it's because it's an expanded post? 🀷

@rhoot fixed! IDK how that happened. Thank you for mentioning.

@rhoot

@rugk @Pheebe It's not, but it looks like an accidental repeat of the one just before it.

@Pheebe it's kinda messed up that most of the people affected by this aren't allowed to give their voice on it…

@meena @Pheebe yes, but that reinforces the absolute necessity for us, the ones who aren't affected directly by this, to step up and support, broadcast, and be active in their names!

@Pheebe I'm completely outside this world, but I think anyone working on proposals like this needs to be VERY CAREFUL that they can't be turned against you. Is there any way in which this could be used to target pre-transition or post-transition counseling?

@Pheebe that link doesn't seem to work right ...

@fedithom @Pheebe Worked for me. Please note that the embedded image does not point to the initiative but to the participant rules. I would recommend to remove this image link because it distracts from the important link (which is the last one in the posting text).

@kaspi @Pheebe

My client doesn't even show it as a link, probably because of the trailing /#/...

This here works fine:

@Pheebe "The European Parliament has strongly condemnedall forms of discrimination against LGBTI people, including LGBTI conversion 'therapies'. Moreover, it has also made repeated calls on the Member
States to ban such practices."

Dude Germo

@Pheebe Why is there a citizens initiative if the EU already has issued such ban ?

PheebeUK

@Germo there is no legislation banning conversion therapy.

@Germo @Pheebe

Not every state has yet enacted it, which I read as the point that the initiative is pushing on.

My country of nationality only enacted the ban last year. Others still have not, such as Hungary, Poland and checks notes the Netherlands.
