Conversion therapy refers to any practice or treatment that attempts to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity. The UK government has repeatedly promised to ban these practices, calling them abhorrent, but legislation has faced delays due to complex debates regarding religious freedom, parental rights, and whether the ban should cover transgender identity. Proponents argue that the ban is necessary to stop psychological torture that leads to high rates of depression and suicide among LGBTQ+ youth. Opponents argue that a poorly defined ban could criminalize religious leaders, therapists, or parents who are simply having exploratory conversations with children confused about their gender.
