The event was organised by the International Foundation for Therapeutic and Counselling Choice – a London-based company that says it is a ‘home for the once-gay’

    This isn’t even the worst of it. We haven’t forgotten Nazi Germany, nor what the rest of the world did to us once World War 2 ended. They call for us to be forcefully castrated in private, but their true goal is the same as the rest of the organizations throughout history who have come together to “answer the question of the queers.”. They want us to be rounded up and shot.

    Genocidal organizations such as those that promote conversion therapy should be banned, and individuals within them who promote such things should be prosecuted for hate crimes. But it’s become acceptable in the current political climate to ponder if committing acts of violence against us is right or not.

      There’s a reason jews and dissidents are the only holocaust victims publicly talked about. I am german, went to school in Germany (history lessons about the Third Reich, Holocaust and WW2 are super extensive here and take up basically 3-4 school years), yet we only ever talked about jews and dissidents of the nazis. No Sinti and Roma, no queers, no nobody else was ever talked about during these lessons.

    when they ask in honest what they should do (besides castration) then the simple answer is: accept us for what we are.

    London is becoming less of Europe by the moment, they’ve been discussing to leave the European Court of Human Rights for some time, the other day published an emergency bill to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda, now this… it fits right on track (and of course the meeting had to be in Poland).

    But in the same breath they complain about how the gender affirming care is “sterilizing children”. Can’t even bother to be consistent.

    Boosted by the successful campaign to stop conversion therapy being banned in the UK, Williams is now setting out a strategy that, if successful, would roll-back decades of hard-won human rights legislation, including same-sex marriage and anti-discrimination laws.

    well that sounds oddly familiar

    As a woman who’s castrated, doesn’t work like that, honey…
