A Christmas Wish for 2026: 'Banning Conversion Practices in the UK'

In this powerful episode, we talk about something that cuts right to the heart of LGBTQ+ community - safety, dignity, and human rights in the UK; the ongoing fight to ban conversion practices.

Conversion practices; whether medical, psychological, religious, or cultural, seek to change or suppress someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity. Despite repeated government promises, these harmful practices remain legal in the UK, leaving thousands of LGBTQ+ people, particularly young people, at risk.

We are joined by Simon Blake, CEO of Stonewall, and Dr Glenn Miles, a survivor, researcher, and long standing campaigner, to talk about the harmful reality of conversion practices and the open letter delivered to 10 Downing Street framed as a Christmas wish calling on the Government to finally publish a draft Bill and make 2026 the year the UK bans conversion practices for good.
