The petition to ban conversion therapy practices in the EU is lacking enough votes from:
- #germany (49.9%)
- #sweden (49.96%)
- #Netherlands (94%)
- #austria (25.5%)
- #Slovenia (83.14%)
- #portugal (24.46%)

If you're a citizen there you can help advance a ban on conversion therapy by voting:

This tariff fiasco is crazy on so many levels. So @hankgreen.bsky.social decided to rank them.

As much as there is to laugh at, stay till the end, because he does a good job breaking down why this is so serious.
