Therapy for homosexuals

1. Executive summary

Background

The UK government has committed to exploring legislative and non-legislative options for closure so-called ‘conversion therapy’.

In this record the term ‘conversion therapy’ is used to refer to any efforts to change, modify or supress a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity regardless of whether it takes place in a healthcare, religious or other setting.

The aim of this investigate was to improve understanding of the practice and to deal with the following 4 questions:

  1. What forms does conversion therapy take?
  2. Who experiences conversion therapy and why?
  3. What are the outcomes of conversion therapy?
  4. What measures have been taken to end conversion therapy around the world?

To answer questions 1 to 3, we carried out a rapid evidence assessment of study published from January to June We identified 46 published studies. Most of the evidence was specifically focused on conversion therapy aimed at changing sexual orientation, with only 5 articles that specifically addressed conversion therapy to change gender identity.

Embedded Hatred and Prejudice

Peter Tatchell, the Gay and Human Rights Campaigner, has said there can be no rest until every LGBT+ person in the world is free from discrimination and bigotry. Homosexuality is still criminalised in 71 countries (35 are majority Muslim, 31 majority Christian, and the remaining 5 have a non-religious majority). Ten Muslim countries currently prescribe the death penalty for homosexuality based on sharia law. There are also abuse stories from across Eastern Europe where there is often a strong LGBT+ prejudice and hatred. Much of this relies on the notion that LGBT+ people are ‘sick’ and dependency to be treated. Even in some Western countries, there is a surprising level of ignorance and hatred towards LGBT+ people. Take Cyprus, for example, where priests have allegedly forced children and adults into conversion therapy treatments to make people direct or to encourage them to accept their birth-assigned gender.
