# Majority in Dutch Senate supports ban on gay conversion therapy "After getting majority support in parliament, a D66 and VVD bill to ban gay conversion therapy now also has the support of a majority in the Eerste Kamer, the Dutch Senate. The Senators debated the bill on Tuesday and will officially vote on it next week, NOS reports. If the law is implemented, it will be a criminal offense to force homosexual and transgender people to undergo therapy or faith healing to change their sexual preferences or gender identity. Violators of the law will risk hefty fines or up to two years in prison. The D66 and VVD want the law to prevent the suffering of people forced to undergo these “cures.” The United Nations Human Rights Commission previously concluded that the practices cause serious suffering." https://nltimes.nl/2026/06/03/majority-dutch-senate-supports-ban-gay-conversion-therapy
