👋EU people: There's a citizen petition calling on the EU to ban "conversion therapy" to "cure" LGBTQ+ folks, a process people who've experienced it describe as "torture". It needs about 5x its current votes to be considered but is especially in need of voters from: Spain, Ireland, Slovenia, Belgium

Update: In the time since my last post on this petition, Ireland's gone from under 50% of needed signatures to well above 100%! España también está muy cerca ahora. The four closest countries are now: Spain at 70%, Belgium-Netherlands-Slovenia near 50%, Sweden-Denmark-Germany all hover around 35%.

EU folks: There is one week left to sign the EU citizen's initiative against "conversion therapy" of LGBTQ folks. I don't think it can hit the total threshold in that time but Spain just hit the country threshold, and Belgium and the Netherlands could still make it: eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

Hells, what did I miss out of Texas recently?

OK as of last night the EU citizen petition to ban "conversion therapy" ("medical torture") on LGBTQs met its 7 countries target! (High-5 Slovenia) In the 5 days since I last posted it's jumped 250k votes to 670k votes. It's really close to its target of 1 mil. 1 day left. EU citizens can sign at:

It's 7 AM CEST. The EU citizen initiative to ban anti-LGBT "conversion therapy" is *so close*—I think the votes *tripled* in a week?—but also there are only 18 hours left. Uh, or 32, depending on what "ends May 17" means. Sorry, I'm sleepy and on the wrong continent eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

What do I tell someone who is afraid to "submit so much personal information to a global database"?

Central and Eastern Europe never fails to disappoint. Signing right now.

Um um wow. WOW? In JUST the time I was asleep the EU "Citizens Initiative" to ban anti-LGBT "conversion therapy" got one-quarter of its entire vote goal, meaning with 9 countries & just over a million votes it "passes" and is sent to the EU parliament. Amazing y'all eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...
