The Campaign to Ban Conversion therapy in Scotland | GET INVOLVED: linktr.ee/ectscotland
- “Every single day between now and then, LGBT people will be subjected to conversion therapy in Scotland, completely avoidable because of political cowardice of being too afraid to just stand up." www.thenational.scot/news/2513893...
- Reposted by ECT ScotlandAn opinion piece I wrote is in @scotnational.bsky.social today on the recent Supreme Court judgment and EHRC update. “Trans people’s lives deserve to be made better, not worse.” 🏳️⚧️ @lgbtiscotland.bsky.social @scottishtrans.bsky.social
- Our statement on the decision by the Scottish Government to drop the bill to ban conversion practices in this parliament.
- The EHRC guidance is extremely dangerous. It threatens to exclude trans people from public and community spaces completely, and segregate trans children from their schools. It is a direct threat to the human rights of association and self-expression. It cannot be permitted to be enforced.
- Reposted by ECT ScotlandWe’ve shared our initial response to the UKSC ruling with the Equalities, Human Rights & Civil Justice Committee. It is too early to know for sure exactly what it will mean – but it could have some extremely harmful impacts on trans people. Find out more: www.scottishtrans.org/supreme-cour...
- Reposted by ECT Scotland"The judgment at the Supreme Court achieved nothing in the bid for women’s rights & equality. It has dealt with none of the most pressing concerns & risks facing women today. Feminists know this & they know too what is at further risk" Our CEO in the Herald ⬇️ www.heraldscotland.com/opinion/2511...
- Reposted by ECT ScotlandAllies: we need your support more than ever before. We know that many people are feeling shocked and angry following yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling and are looking for ways to get involved and support the trans community.
- When people are told that trans identities are not real by figures in positions of authority and power they may attempt to enforce that imposed reality on others. They will not succeed. No more than "pray the gay away" ever did. But people will suffer as a result. We need a ban. We need it now.
- Reposted by ECT ScotlandAs a staff team, we stand in solidarity with the trans community and are appalled by today’s judgement. We are working to read and process the judgement in full and will put out further information in the coming weeks.
- Conversion practices are still with us, and every month that passed and we continue to see no action to deliver a ban promised in 2021 more LGBTQ+ people are subjected to them. It's time for our political parties to deliver. It's time for action. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
- "Scotland can lead by example... the Scottish Government must make history and become the first nation in the UK to ban conversion practices if we are to build a truly equal society for everyone." www.thenational.scot/politics/249...
- Keep an eye out for the @lgbtiscotland.bsky.social campaign to end conversion practices in Scotland! 2 in 3 Scots support a ban - but many don't realise this form of abuse is still legal. Support us in finally bringing it to an end. www.equality-network.org/campaigns/en...
