Canton Vaud has banned conversion therapy.
But the sponsor of the bill fears it now may have unintended consequences.
Julien Eggenberger put forward the proposal that a therapy aimed at changing homosexual tendencies should be stopped. He says ‘love is not an illness, there’s nothing to cure’.
But the law goes beyond what he expected as it includes hormonal and surgical treatments, which means it may have an impact on gender-based therapies.
Another member of the Vaud Council of State, Jacques-André Haury, says it was ill advised to mix the two issues.
