Over one million citizens signed the petition to ban conversion practices.
We hear you.
And our reply is firm:
✋🏼These interventions must end.
Being LGBTIQ+ doesn’t need to be cured.
Yet, conversion practices, relying on the false idea that LGBTIQ+ people are sick, still exist and are causing long-lasting psychological and physical damage.
Your rights are an inseparable part of a true Union of Equality.
We won’t let you down.🏳️🌈

Analysis Summary
The European Commission is responding to a citizens' initiative with over one million signatures by urging EU member states to ban conversion practices. The post's framing as a strong commitment glosses over a key detail — the Commission is recommending action rather than proposing a binding EU-wide ban, which advocates wanted. Coverage from Politico, Euronews, and Euractiv notes the Commission stopped short of legislation, saying a binding law could take years.
