Equality There is nothing therapeutic about so-called conversion therapy. A watertight ban on all forms of conversion practice - or so-called conversion therapy - would be a landmark for equality, says the Scottish Greens equality spokesperson Maggie Chapman MSP. Ms Chapman was commenting on the final day for responses to the Scottish Government’s consultation on banning the cruel practices, and encouraged as many people as possible to respond.

Equality Conversion practices have no place in a modern or progressive Scotland. The proposed bill to ban conversion practice should be a welcome moment of unity for Scotland’s political parties, say the Scottish Greens. All MSPs were elected on manifestos that included a commitment to banning conversion practices - acts that intend to change or suppress someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity.

The Scottish Greens are an incredibly successful party. In the words of a former senior Tory official we are “easily the most successful political party in Holyrood’s history in terms of influence per MSP”. Our opponents aren’t just impressed, they’re frightened, because they’ve seen what Greens can do. In less than a decade we’ve gone from a marginal force to a party of government and effective campaigning organisation. Last year, we almost doubled our number of councillors.
