Government pledged to bring end to ‘abhorrent’ practices five years ago but legislation has been beset by delays

Stonewall said lives were continuing to be ruined by attempts to “cure” LGBTQ+ people “of being themselves” as Monday marked half a decade since the government vowed it would introduce legislation to outlaw conversion practices.
