Germany to Ban Gay Cure Therapy

The German Health Minister, Jens Spahn, has told newspaper Die Tageszeitung that he is going to ban gay cure therapy across the country.

“Homosexuality is not a disease and it doesn’t need to be cured. That’s why I’m in favour of a ban on conversion therapy,” he said in the interview.

“I do not believe in these therapies because of my own sexual orientation. I [believe] that God has something in mind.”

Spahn added that he will be working with Minister of Justice Katarina Barleyto ensure there is a “practical implementation” of the ban.

“The law must be clear enough to make an impact.”
