## Resource

After years of delay, the UK government finally bans conversion practices — a landmark law criminalizing attempts to change or suppress someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity, especially when causing harm. Targeting both domestic and foreign abusers, the legislation includes new protection orders and aims to safeguard LGBTQ+ individuals without restricting legitimate healthcare or free speech. For survivors like Justin Kennedy, who endured brutal “pray the gay away” rituals, this ban offers overdue justice and a chance to heal. Activists hail it as a crucial step — though long overdue — toward protecting future generations from the trauma of conversion therapy.
