“A ‘conversion therapy’ ban need to be comprehensive to be effective”
Philip Baldwin speaks with Robbie de Santos, Director of Campaigns and Human Rights at Stonewall, about LGBT+ History Month and the need for a “comprehensive ban” on ‘conversion therapy’.
WORDS BY PHILIP BALDWIN Stonewall is Europe’s largest LGBTQIA+ charity. Robbie de Santos has worked at Stonewall for eight years and is their Director of Campaigns and Human Rights.
It was fantastic to sit down with Robbie and chat about some of the main LGBTQ+ issues impacting our community now. I began by asking Robbie why LGBT+ History Month is important?
History is so important in helping us build a sense of who we are and how we fit into the world. We know LGBTQIA+ people have always been there, so making sure that everyone can see LGBTQIA+ people at great historical moments but also everyday lives is important for showing that we are a community that matters.
