From the article in Christianity Today:
"The leading activists on this issue – those the government is trying to placate – are quite clear that they want it to target conversations and ideas they don't like," he said.
"They want a kind of LGBT blasphemy law. This is profoundly illiberal."
He added, "Jayne Ozanne says she wants 'gentle non-coercive prayer' to be criminalized as part of this Bill. But it is obvious to most people that gentle non-coercive prayer is not conversion therapy."

In the UK, they're looking to continue pushing a clandestine "blasphemy law" on religious free speech and as always, what goes on in other places, ends up here in the US.
The truth is that the phrase, "Conversion Therapy" isn't Biblical.
There's no such thing as conversion therapy! This is another play on words the enemy uses in order to attack truth. I'm not sure where the term got its start but it's meant to slander the idea that one can be free from a homosexual lifestyle.
The falsehood of "born this way" which can never be validated yet often repeated in the culture cannot survive as long as scores of testimonies exist of people leaving homosexual lifestyles.
But if you do a simple search on most social media platforms, you'll find people who have walked away from homosexuality and have found freedom in their organic and natural identities as men and women.
The secularist narrative doesn't want people to be aware of this nor do they want the church doing what the church is supposed to do by reaching into people's lives, and discipling them into the mind of Christ where power, purity and reality exists.
If freedom is possible in Christ (as per 1 Corinthians 6: 9-10) then what else is the culture lying about? There are so many lies in the culture which continue on just to derail the healing of our society.
The culture of death cannot allow this.
And the same goes for those suffering from many other areas in their lives where they need clarity and empowerment.
Christ has come to set us free, and the road is the way of TRUTH.
