@openlynews: One in five LGBTQ+ people have undergone “convērsion thērapy” to try to change their sexual orientation or gender identity in Colombia, with numbers rising to one in three among trans people, according to a 2020 survey by the U.S.-based Williams Institute at UCLA and Colombia Collaborative Project. Queer activists like Danne Belmont (she/her) are calling on the country’s parliament to ban on these practices, which many human rights organisations have labelled a form of torture. However, Christian sectors are openly opposing the bill as they argue it could threaten religious guidance. Several countries, from Brazil and Ecuador to Spain, Greece and Germany, have introduced different bans on convērsion thērapy. #lgbtqrights #transrights #lgbtnews #colombia #bogota #gaycolombia
