The horrific practice was first promised to be banned in 2018
Campaigners have said LGBTQ+ folk “deserve better” after conversion therapy was left out of the King’s Speech.
In the case of The Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministry, which had a branch on Breck Road, Anfield, gay people were offered the chance to “cure” themselves of their homosexuality through a relentless prayer session involving three days without food or water. Robbie de Santos, from Stonewall - the largest LGBT rights organisation in Europe - expressed a similar sentiment. The director of external affairs said: “The UK Government's failure to deliver a ban on conversion practices after five years of promises is an act of frightful negligence - in doing so, it has given the green light for the abuse against LGBTQ+ people to continue unchecked.
