After the German Bundestag has offered on Friday, the Bundesrat (chamber of States) a corresponding law to ban therapy for the alleged cure of homosexuality – the so-called conversion treatments – agreed to. In force, it should occur after the promulgation in the Federal law Gazette. Because there is no fixed time could pass until then, a few weeks.

Thus, the urgently necessary protection against arbitrary and harmful “therapeutic measures should be ensured”.
