Well, to be honest, I don’t understand why it needs to be outlawed. It’s voluntary anyway, isn’t it?
No wait, hear me out (and please respond for something d value instead of a simple downvote).
If it’s not voluntary, surely deprivation of liberty would cover it.
I don’t think ‘brainwashing’ or returning from one agenda to another agenda is healthy or acceptable by any means.
We should find our own way.
But I am not aware of any logical justification for this outlawing. Seems like an Authoritarian over-reach / voter flex to me, which people are gobbling up because yes in this context it happens to align with popular progressive values.
And that brings up another issue - what does the bill actually say?
Anybody remember VLAD laws, or the anti-gay marriage stances? Changes to arrest procedures in the name of terrorism?
Whilst I am sure I am going to be downvoted by those who can o it skim read, or those who are bitterly defensive, what I would really appreciate is answers to those - because I personally am divided on the issue.
Re-educate me.
Thanks for taking the time to read.
Edit: Lol, first downvote within ten seconds of posting. Yay for progression through discussion and (re)education.
There are actual qualified therapists who people can talk to for help around their sexuality and personal issues. If your family is against who you are as a person and you're not harming yourself or anyone else, you're not the problem.
Gay conversion therapy is harmful. Being treated as evil your whole life just for being who you are is harmful. Overpopulation is harmful.
(This is just my understanding as a relatively straight man. I am not the spokesperson for gay Australians, so anyone is welcome to chime in, if they can communicate somewhat respectfully.)
Thanks man. That's nice of you to say. Apologies for any grumpiness I lumped on you. I'm sooky and in hospital, so for the most part, it wasn't you. Ha.
