I’m not European, so I can’t sign (I think), sharing this is the most I can do; but if you and/or someone you know is from Europe and hasn’t signed yet Please do!
EDIT: THE THRESHOLD HAS BEEN REACHED!!! LETS FUCKING GOOOOO!!!
You must log in or register to comment.
I just voted. Let’s go!!!
I’m pleasantly surprised to see this cross the threshold. I was kind of not expecting it to, given that it had something like 500k signatures a week ago.
Way to go, everyone!
It had 400k 3 days ago
A week ago it had much less than 500k
YES!
HOW THE HELL
THIS IS AWESOME
HELL YEAH!!
France with the 980% of required signatures. Based France!
How the hell is this not banned already?!
Hungary, Poland and such
I mean… yeah, I know, but conversion therapies? In 2025? Might as well apply leeches to cure flu
The problem with banning these is that most of the time, the victims aren’t being forced to go to these places. Adults are talked into it using whatever religious shaming bigots can come up with.
When it comes to kids, you run into the issue that kids don’t have a say in their own lives (they do have rights, but they can’t easily exercise them). You can ban discrimination based on sex or gender, but you can’t easily interfere with a week-long church program for troubled youth. The state doesn’t get to dictate your religion.
A significant portion of just about any country on earth is grossed out by the thought of homosexuality. For a large part of voters, being gay was still a crime back when they were young. Things like gay marriage are still hot topics in the EU today. On the scale of centuries of backwards abuse and scapegoating, gay rights have moved forward at lightning speed, and it’ll take a few generations for those advancements to solidify (or, in case of the US and UK, lose decades of progress to hopefully regain them in the future).
Also, leeches are still used in medicine today, as well as ants, worms, and maggots. Not to cure the flu (unless your flu symptoms are the result of extreme iron consumption, in which case bloodletting is still necessary and leeches may keep blood flowing while doing that).
Whelp, a lot of people like the idea of torturing queer children. Not much else to it than that.
Now the signatures have to be verified by each member country’s authorities. Unverifiable support may bring the petition back under 1M signatures. Sign if you haven’t! Keep spreading!
The momentum this has gained is insane ❤️
It’s taking ages to load. Good sign.
France is basically DDOSing the page, they are at 962% support
The organisation behind the initiative is from France.
Threshold:
One million statements of support (At 986k now)
as well as minimum thresholds in at least 7 countries. ✓990k!
998k!
999k!
1 million passed!
1M!
Nice, it was around 700k when I signed it yesterday. Good to see it at 978k now. That’s a lot of votes in one day.
Holy moley, I signed yesterday and was sad that it was probably not going to make the cut, but that is an INSANE explosion of signatures. 990k now, this will work!
The load time on this is insane. But I got it signed! Not that it really helped much, both my own country and my country of residence had already reached the threshold.
But still, it’s about time for an EU-wide ban on this barbaric shit.
Once they start verifying the votes, every vote helps.
You’re right, always good to have a buffer.
First time I’ve signed one of these. Most annoying part of the process was that Android apparently no (longer?) has a quick toggle for NFC.
Anyway, I hope this will lead to something. If I understand it correctly one member country can still veto this, right?
I’m on latest Android and have a quick setting for NFC
You use NFC to sign? Don’t you have an eID app?
At least the german eID app seems to require reading the physical ID with NFC
Could be nfc for an nfc enabled eid perhaps? I’m wondering as well
Signed.
Same. 📝✊
