Description
Join us for a crucial discussion on Scotland's upcoming 'conversion therapy ban’ bill.
While the term
'conversion therapy' often evokes images of cruelty and torture, the
proposed bill's expansive definition has sparked immediate concern among
various groups. However, some see it as a vital step forward
for LGBTQ+ rights, applauding the Scottish government's initiative.
There are valid
concerns about the potential chilling effect of the bill and its
implications for parental rights, religious freedoms and therapeutic
counselling. Our esteemed panel, featuring David Scott (Formally
UK Column), Richard Lucas (The Scottish Family Party), Professor Stuart
Waiton (Abertay University) and psychotherapist Dr Bruce Scott offer
diverse perspectives on this contentious issue.
This is an
opportunity to engage in an open and honest dialogue, to understand
different viewpoints, and to voice your own concerns during our Q&A
session. Your participation is crucial as we navigate the complexities
of this proposed ban. Join us and be part of shaping the conversation.
