The Sydney Morning Herald reports that the practice of gay conversion therapy will be banned in Victoria, after the Health Complaints Commissioner found “overwhelming evidence” it does serious and long-term harm to those who receive it, making it the first jurisdiction in Australia to outlaw the practice of psychological therapy or counseling to try to suppress or change a person’s sexuality or gender identity.
