PM Orpo lends support for conversion therapy ban, admits ban is unlikely

PRIME MINISTER Petteri Orpo (NCP) stated on YLE Radio Suomi on Sunday that he is definitely in favour of prohibiting conversion therapies – therapies that seek to change the gender identity, gender expression or sexual orientation of an individual to conform with gender stereotypes.

“I think that the idea that somehow you try to train people to become something that they aren’t goes completely against the idea of human nature,” he said.
