Thank you @wearequeeraf.com for highlighting this!

As Interim Chair of Ban Conversion Practices Coalition I’m concerned a parenting book promoting “desistance” appears in 58 UK libraries. This is not evidence-based care; it draws from harmful conversion practices. Young people deserve dignity and support, not shame. We need a fully inclusive ban now

This is now the 8th Xmas since the UK Government committed to banning #LGBTQ+ conversion practices.
I’m one of many calling on the Government to publish a draft Bill before the end of this Parliamentary session, as promised.
Another year of delay is another year of preventable harm and suffering.

“Conversion practices continue to inflict profound and preventable harm, and every day without a ban leaves people at risk.

"We now expect the government to uphold its promise."

New police powers could criminalise wearing a mask at Pride The police will have the power to make it a criminal offence to cover your face at a public protest if Labour’s proposed policing bill becomes law, putting LGBTQIA+ people attending Pride events in danger of being outed

There has been an utter and continual failure to address antisemitism in recent years. I have seen it repeatedly justified. It's vile, and it has led to this. Solidarity today on Yom Kippur with my Jewish friends, and the wider community.
