Canada: dangerous bill?
The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada / en
On March 9,
the Federal Government
introduced amendments to the Criminal
Code to ban so-called conversion therapy
as applied to gender identity and sexual
orientation.
In Bill C-8, conversion therapy is defined
broadly as ‘a practice, treatment or service
designed
to
change
a
person’s
sexual
orientation to heterosexual or gender identity
to cis-gender, or to repress or reduce non-heterosexual attraction or sexual behaviour.’
