The French government has promised to to ban ‘conversion therapy’ and improve education on LGBT+ issues. The pledges are part of a 42 point national plan to combat hatred and discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
French Minister of Gender Equality and Diversity Elisabeth Moreno said the plan will improve life for LGBT+ people by 2023. Among the proposals is making adoption easier for LGBT+ families.
Meanwhile the government wants to follow other countries in banning ‘conversion therapies’. Malta, Ecuador, Brazil, Taiwan and Germany have already banned the dangerous and futile attempts to ‘cure’ people’s sexual orientation or gender identity.
