Sexuality and Gender Identity Conversion Practices Bill 2020
Debate resumed.
MR RATTENBURY (Kurrajong—Minister for Climate Change and Sustainability, Minister for Corrections and Justice Health, Minister for Justice, Consumer Affairs and Road Safety and Minister for Mental Health) (3.15), in reply: I will close the debate ahead of the Chief Minister speaking. By prohibiting conversion practices in our community, this government is sending a clear message of support for and solidarity with gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and gender diverse people in our Canberra community.
Today, more than ever after the hurtful and damaging vitriol from a small but loud crowd, I say to the LGBTIQ community, “We recognise you, we support you and we value you for who you are and for what you contribute to our vibrant city.” There is nothing—nothing about your sexuality or gender identity—that is broken or needs to be changed.
