Over one million citizens signed the petition to ban conversion practices.We hear you.And our reply is firm:✋🏼These interventions must end. Being LGBTIQ+ doesn’t need to be cured. Yet, conversion practices, relying on the false idea that LGBTIQ+ people are sick, still exist and are causing long-lasting psychological and physical damage.Your rights are an inseparable part of a true Union of Equality.We won’t let you down.🏳️🌈➡️ https://link.europa.eu/PmbyM4

@EUCommission I think this poster has a big issue. The sentence “Conversion practices are not a cure”, implies that there is a cure, but this one is not one. And having a cure implies that you are talking about an illness. So even by using such a sentence, you are giving in to the idea of “it” being an illness, which I suppose your intentions are the opposite.

@EUCommission ban them for minors, fine. Let adults do what they want to do though. Don't try to limit my freedom where this freedom is not affecting others in any negative way.

@EUCommission should have said: lgbtq+ not a disease. Next line: ban all "cures". Saying conversion therapy is not a cure one might imply that other things are. Sloppy work again

@EUCommission They are psychobabble nonsense. Like cures for gays, back in the day. Remember Alan Turing.

@EUCommissionBy conversion practices, you mean converting from one gender to another? If a person is an adult, why do you care what they do to their bodies? Isn't it transphobic?If somebody has a gender dysphoria, this is a therapy and it's proven to work, preventing self harm.

@PhoenixWright @EUCommission The EU actually put out a statement supporting people's right to undergo gender reassignment recently. "Conversion therapy" is something else entirely, It's a pseudoscientific "therapy" intended to make a person stop being LGBT+. Like a lot of quackery, it is both harmful and and ineffective, which is why they want to ban it

Hello @Njord! Thank you for explaining, @PhoenixWright! We also included a definition of these practices in our response:Conversion practices on LGBTQ+ people are comprised of a diverse group of mental and physical manipulations, psycho-hypnotic indoctrinations (usually presented to public as “therapies”), medical and homoeopathic interventions, exorcism and other treatments enacted with the aim of altering Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity and Expression. https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000001_en

Hello @joyandsadness Being LGBTIQ+ doesn’t need to be cured. We also stated this in the text above the poster, but we thank you for your feedback on our visual communication. We will bear it in mind for the future.

@AngelaScholder @EUCommission They can't enforce it, that is the weakness of the commission. Only the member states can enforce it. But the commission will write a formal recommendation to the member states to adopt such a ban. Its sad, that even that recommendation is still in the future, considering how much even just the idea behind such "therapies" (Better: Torture) violates the human rights in all EU countries.

Hello @urwumpe, @AngelaScholder! We considered several options, and, although a Recommendation is a non-binding legal act, it is the best and most effective instrument to achieve the objective of the ECI. That’s because banning conversion practices by means of criminal law is a competence of EU countries. Some countries have already done so. We are committed to supporting EU countries who are in the process of banning conversion practices and encourage others who wish to start the process. 🌈

@EUCommission As a queer person, I can get behind this message!But again, as a queer person, you are in the process of creating an awful situation with the #ageverification laws. Teens should be able to access information about LGBTQ+ topics without even fearing that it might be logged and tied to their ID. This is one of the many reasons why IF the #EUDI wallet needs to exist at all, ZKPs and offline operation MUST be a requirement and the standard before release - safety by technical design!

@EUCommission I just read something else about that; it seems we're not going to ban, but we'll ask nicely ?https://www.lemonde.fr/international/article/2026/05/13/therapies-de-conversion-des-lgbt-l-ue-ne-va-pas-les-interdire-mais-va-pousser-les-etats-a-le-faire_6688695_3210.html

@EUCommission @joyandsadnessHere we go again... 🤦🏽♂️You did not stated that. As has been pointed out here:https://mastodon.social/@lxsameer/116567751304259850Seriously, a RIGOROUS social network account for the #EU would revise the poster BEFORE posting it, and ask some LGTBIQ+ organizations if they see anything wrong. They would spotted the problem immediately.To reiterate you are implying there is other types of cure, and beign LGTBIQ+ is an illness.What it's sick is that ban this therapies has not be considered until the citizens did a public collection of firms.How long is going to take you to consider attacks to the LGTBIQ+ citizens a HATE CRIME, punishable with the highest jail periods?.This two should be MANDATORY for any country that wants to stay or join the EU.No more discrimination allowed for us in the EU country members.

This is not something you really want to be talking about, because it only serves to remind people that you are terrified to enforce any kind of law against anyone who identifies as Muslim.

@EUCommission Please stop using flowery language. They torture people. It's torture. Unless I am mistaken, torture is against EU human rights (not that anyone cares about that kind of stuff). So I say about damn time.

@EUCommission A very welcome stance and statement.However: "The European Commission will not enact an EU-wide ban on conversion therapy aimed at changing or suppressing the identity of LGBTQ+ people but will urge countries to outlaw it nationally, in response to a major citizens' petition."https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-says-countries-not-brussels-should-ban-lgbtq-conversion-practices/We are waiting.

I'm the instance admin, people are reporting this comment,After review, the comment is not racist. The mention of “Islamic, etc.” is part of a broader, general statement about all religious contexts. The “etc.” makes it clear the user was not singling out Islam but referring to any dogmatic religion. The wording is awkward, but there is no hate speech. No action will be taken.
