Germany plans to ban gay 'conversion therapy'

German Health Minister Jens Spahn unveiled a draft law on Monday that largely bans “conversion therapy” for LGBT+ people.

The practice will be completely banned for all youths under the age of 18, the newspapers of the Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (RND) reported, citing a copy of the draft law.

The law stops short of a complete ban, however, with consenting adults allowed to seek “treatment” for their sexuality — albeit under restricted circumstances.

The practice would no longer be legal, however, if the person ended up consenting to the therapy after being deceived, coerced or threatened.

Under the law, the ban would also be exempt for 16 to 18-year-olds if the practitioner can prove that the patient has the capacity to understand the implications and risks of treatment. […]

Spahn, who is openly gay, told the RND that being LGBT+ “is not a disease” and shouldn’t be treated as such.

He added that “a ban also sends an important societal signal to all those who are struggling with their homosexuality: ‘You’re OK just as you are.’” …

A homosexual health minister gets to ban conversion therapy. No bias whatsoever, yes?

Converting people TO gay is quite OK though.

Can give body warping hormones and surgery to little children.

Can’t try to talk the ‘gay’ out of people. Which doesn’t even work according to libs.

Once again it’s about finding Christ the Lord - has nothing to do with being a stupid homosexual You’re converting to a good human being who cares about others more than one self that’s called being a good Christian Homosexual males mostly care about their own little thing and homosexual females often times are in long-term relationships and have children All that being said Bible is very clear and God made man and God made woman and they are like the yin and the yang Diverting from that is simply silly 🙃

Brain plasticity doesn’t exist...right? Stroke victims will never learn how to walk or talk, right?

What a sad example of intelligence.

Grooming conversion TO homosexual is not only permissible it is encouraged.

In 25 years, Muslims will be throwing faggots off of buildings.

Why do they refuse to call it mental illness health treatment? How does it differ from treating schizophrenics, etc?

[jmacusa]

Less time than that. I’d say in ten years. Fifteen at the most but you’re right, it will happen.

[grey_whiskers]

Well, I guess the Muslims would say, all that's left is to throw them off of rooftops.

Cause there seems to be an influx of Muslims into Europe, too.

the lgbt community is always looking for dead famous people from history to claim as being gay. I wonder if they will claim Hitler

“ Converting people TO gay is quite OK though.”

Yes. Minors. Under protest from their parents.

We already have this in the United States.

In New Jersey and California, you can be arrested for praying for a homosexual. It is considered illegal "Conversion Therapy" and will land you in jail and/or stiff fines.

I wish I was joking.

[Pearls Before Swine]

We should do the same here... if by gay conversion therapy you include all the propaganda urging people to go LGBTQ.
