Question 26103 — fundamental rights

Summary

Mr. Jean-Luc Lagleize alerts the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the issue of “conversion therapies”. “Conversion therapy” refers to a set of physical or psychological practices aimed at changing a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. They are based on the postulate that homosexuality or transidentity are illnesses that should be cured. As a reminder, France has officially removed homosexuality and gender identity disorders from the list of psychiatric conditions, in 1981 and 2010 respectively. These “conversion therapies” have no medical or therapeutic basis. They are also carried out by self-proclaimed expert “therapists” or by certain representatives or followers of cults or beliefs. These practices are described as “torture” by the United Nations, which can lead to depression, isolation or even suicide. Thus, he questions him about the Government's intentions to firmly and definitively prohibit these practices and to fight more effectively against them.
