from The Christian Institute:

The past year was bookended by announcements about proposed new laws on conversion therapy across the British Isles. Abuse and coercion is already illegal. So the plans are not about protecting people, rather they seek to criminalise the ordinary work of churches, such as preaching and prayer. Parents who wish to protect their gender-confused children from experimental puberty blockers could also be criminalised.

Our Review of the Year video highlights these attempts, as well as rounding-up other events of note that occurred during the past twelve months. This includes our successful legal action on behalf of a parent governor who challenged a school’s trans-affirming sex ed policy, and our work on the Online Safety Bill.

Our feature-length article goes into more detail.
