Finland and France are way in the lead here with well over 120% of required signatories. Belgium, Slovenia, and Spain are tailing with between 40-60% of signatories.
7 countries need to meet the threshold before this is brought to the European parliament. It seems like it has a good chance it might make it ^^

Just signed the petition here. Fuck conversion therapy; I was surprised to learn today it isn’t already illegal in Europe. Took all of 30 second to fill out:

Just remembered that when I was 16 or so, for a brief period my plan after high school was... ummm... army I guess?
Shout out to a number of high school friends who got really serious with me at some point and told me that, no, under no circumstance should I do that. At the time I didn’t really understand why, but I could tell from their tone that they did understand, they cared about me, and were seriously trying to steer me away from making a huge mistake. Glad I listened :)

This is why the Covid pandemic been such a traumatizing experience for a lot of the wealthy. Imagine telling yourself you’re a super special boy and you deserve everything in the world, everyone else be damned.
…and then all of a sudden you’re faced with the reality that you too live in a society. Shocking.

There are so many good examples to pull from here too.
For example: in Switzerland everyone takes the train to go around. Why? It’s punctual, clean, and the fastest way to navigate the country. Yes, the ultra wealthy ride first-class. But if the train is delayed, it’s as delayed for them as for the rest of us.

So many of the world’s problems are caused by an economical elite who are increasingly estranged from regular people.
Billionaires like Musk, Zuckerberg, Trump, and so on would be infinitely less weird if they like - rode a bike to work. Or had to wait in line at the supermarket. Or even, idk, fly first class on a chartered flight rather than on a private jet.
Instead they’re completely isolating themselves from the consequences of their actions, congratulating themselves all the way through.
