“It’s a war on people that are under-represented, who are disempowered and need encouragement and support and love,” Fry told us. There have been protests outside Downing Street over the “half-baked” ban on conversion therapy, which aims to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. Under present plans, conversion therapy will stay legal for those with gender dysphoria.
