Netherlands Bans Gay Conversion Therapy

Netherlands Bans Gay Conversion Therapy

Published 2 days, 6 hours ago
Description

The Netherlands just banned gay conversion therapy, with the Senate passing a landmark law that makes it illegal to try and change someone’s sexual orientation — a move long championed by advocates like COC Netherlands. The law targets harmful practices including psychological pressure, prayer-based “healing,” and exorcism, especially when targeting vulnerable people like minors, and explicitly bans advertising such therapies. Violators face steep fines up to €27,500 or two years in prison, plus loss of professional licenses. While critics worry about religious freedom or professional restrictions, the overwhelming consensus is this is a vital step toward protecting human dignity and affirming that everyone deserves to be accepted exactly as they are.
