WTG Canada!

Effective today, Canada has banned "Conversion Therapy, advertising conversion therapy and profiting from conversion therapy"! At least Canada has had the guts to ban this heinous practice that has damaged many young lives.

Edited to include the following:

Bill C4 has been approved by both Houses of Canada, Parliament and Senate:

Bill C4 adds the following four offenses to the Criminal Code of Canada, punishable with jail time up to five years as well as fines:

(a) causing another person to undergo conversion therapy;

(b) doing anything for the purpose of removing a child from Canada with the intention that the child undergo conversion therapy outside Canada;

(c) promoting or advertising conversion therapy; and

(d) receiving a financial or other material benefit from the provision of conversion therapy.”

What's a conversion therapy?

spjennifer · 56-60, T

@eMortal It's psychological torture invented by religious people to try and convert gay people into becoming straight because homosexuality is a sin in their eyes. Also because they think that being gay is voluntary and gays can be bullied into becoming straight again. Many gay young people have committed suicide after this "Conversion Therapy" because they struggle with their sexuality being contrary to their parent's religious beliefs.

@spjennifer Nothing more dangerous on this earth than a religious person.

@eMortal Religion has its place I guess and not all religious people are evil or bad but homosexuality isn't a "choice" or a sin and certainly can't be "converted" out of a person by psychological torture!

I beg to differ @eMortal

@Unity 9/11 was what, a tour group?

False Flag if anything, the existence of Operation Northwoods gives plenty of plausibility to it being the case.

You think 9/11 was the worst thing to happen in the past 30 years? Have you been asleep for most of it? Plenty of Genocides to go around, Civil wars, Wars, Crimes against humanity.

I’d say a Capitalist with nothing left to lose and no moral compass is far more dangerous than any religious person could be

@eMortal I think you meant to say that nothing is more dangerous than a religious [b]fanatic[/b] and that has a ring of truth to it as indeed many evil deeds have been perpetrated by religious fanatics.

@Unity I never said 9/11 was the worst thing to happen in the last 30 years. It was an airline security problem that we completely overreacted to.

If you think the government could pull off a secret operation of that magnitude without anyone spilling the beans, you have a lot more faith than I do.

@LeopoldBloom Nah they don't have to organise it my man, they just have to fund the ones who do, aka Saudi Arabia, the US funded Al Qaeda during the cold war to fight the Russians, after that ended they kept funding them via proxy of Saudi Arabia and then 9/11 happened and they used it as an excuse to spy on everyone.

As I am typing this It just sounds nuts but sadly this is the world we live in.

@Unity Saudi Arabia was not behind 9/11.
