Sign our open letter calling on the Federal government to end conversion therapy for all
June 26, 2020 | News
Sign our open letter calling on the Federal government to amend the Conversion Therapy Ban Bill to better protect trans and gender diverse communities. Bill C-8, “An Act to amend the Criminal Code (conversion therapy)”, offers an important opportunity to reflect on conversion therapy practices that continue to adversely affect transgender, non-binary, Two-Spirit, queer, bisexual, lesbian, gay, and other gender and sexual diverse Canadians. We are heartened that the federal government is committed to addressing these traumatic practices; however, we are obliged to express our concerns about ways in which Bill C-8 fails to adequately define and prevent all forms of conversion therapy. We are particularly concerned about the inequitable impact the current version of the bill will have on trans, non-binary, and gender-diverse Canadians.
