In a monumental move for LGBTQ+ rights, Spain is looking to create a law that will give out fines to anyone who is promoting or selling conversion therapy.
According to a report from Euroweekly News, the new policy, which is currently in the draft stage, has been put forward by the Irene Montero of the Ministry of Equality.
In the document, it describes conversion therapy as “the practice of aversion, conversion or counter-condition methods, programmes and therapies” that try and modify a person’s sexual orientation.
If this new law passes, any businesses practising conversion therapy can face criminal offence charges and a fine up to €10,000.
