The Scottish government is proposing legislation to ban so-called “conversion therapy,” which could imprison parents for up to seven years and/or fine them an unlimited amount should they oppose their child’s newly adopted “gender identity” or sexual practices.

A public consultation on the proposed laws is now open and closes on April 2.
