Campaigner for ending conversion therapy seeks greater role
A campaigner for ending conversion therapy says queer communities should be involved with the designing of a new law now. Justice Minister Kris Faafoi has commited to passing legislation to ban gay conversion "therapy", which involves attempts by religious groups to change a person's sexual or gender orientation. Leading campaigner and queer person Shaneel Lal says they are being made to wait until select committee to comment on the bill. Justice Minister Kris Faafoi says he's asked Lal to contact his office with their concerns.
