Conversion Therapy in South Australia – Jace Reh

Every one of us deserves to be respected for who we are.

We know that practices that seek to change or suppress a person’s sexuality or gender identity cause real and lasting harm, whether they occur in a religious or health space.

We don’t have a national ban on conversion “therapy” in Australia yet, it is banned in three states and territories, ACT, VIC & QLD. A draft bill introduced in Tasmania at the end of last year has been called out as worse than useless by Equality Tasmania.

Equality Australia are calling on people to currently sign a petition that would put an end to conversion practices in NSW, and in South Australia, South Australian Rainbow Advocacy Alliance is leading the charge for a ban on conversion practices in the state.

Joining Rach and Dean on special prerecord interview with Cal Hawk as part of the show for JOY Breakfast Jace Reh shares his experience with Conversion Practices, just as he did in the paper last week, in a hope to get the conversation moving on changing the laws regarding conversion practices.
