sry a friend sent this to me so idk where it comes from
The numbers are fine, but :/
France showed tf up. Thank you France. Their signatures make up about 50% of the total number of signatures (>600k came from France and in total it’s approx 1.2M signatures).
Thanks also to all the countries with at least 100%, because more than 6 countries were needed.
Thanks for every single one that signed - no matter the statistics. Every signature counts.
Important to note; The French have a very strong culture of secularism, which turns out helps a lot with fighting against religious BS.
I’m torn between feeling proud my country did some good for once and annoyed that it means my signature is basically pretty useless compared to others.
Giving your signature is never useless on things like this, as it is direct increase in the total support. The more the threshold is surpassed the harder it is to dismiss a moment as and activist fringe and not mainstream opinion.
Portugal once again is confirmed as an honorary eastern European country
I was looking for this comment
Well, you found it :P
Slovenia is based.
I was expecting better from Denmark, though.
Croatia had some 70% just in final day, but Denmark stayed at some 80ish the entire time. I’ve only heard about this petition from lemmy, maybe a couple of posts there and here made it work in some cases but not in others
The initiative was coming from a French organization. That obviously makes it easier to contact French LGBTQ+ groups to promote that initiative. However it is often difficult to contact groups in other countries, as those contacts are missing. Hence some countries might not have signed as much as they could have.
This has more to do with reach than with public opinion, no offense but I do not find this valuable information. I mean I’m glad with every vote, but this doesn’t really say anything meaningful.
Well it’s both. Which tells you something about the French. Organized and intolerant to this kind of shit.
France 💪💪💪
Yo France!
France accounts for some half of signatures, and also that’s where this campaign is coordinated from
France now gets one week of free pass from banter as a reward for their hard work
As a Croat, I’m baffled we’ve reached it.
Pole here: I honestly though it was outlawed in Poland 5 years ago, but despite what Google AI lies, it wasn’t. Catholic Church intervened and the ban never was voted for.
Once again, mad respect to France
DENMARK?! LUXEMBURG?!
I think these petitions depend a lot upon people actually being aware of them. I don’t think it’s widespread in Denmark at all
Maybe it’s already banned in these countries and there could be an assumption that it is already banned in most countries too, which make it seem like a less important issue.
It’s not directly banned in Denmark. It’s basically non-existent, and as such difficult to find people who cares enough about banning it.
Indirectly it is already illegal, because it’s illegal to treat anyone for anything against their will. This includes children.
However, there are still people who send their children to a therapist or a doctor. I don’t know if a ban would change their minds in any way. Perhaps it’s better that the parents get to have that conversation with a doctor instead of just being angry at a law and seeking help at alternative places through religion or whatever. They’d probably do that with or without a law anyway, so if anything, it’s actually better if they have the opportunity to talk to a professional therapist first without just getting told off.
Politicians don’t want to deal with it. They’re afraid the backlash from people who are against all things “woke”, would be bigger than the support from anyone who actually cares about the virtue signaling.
If the practice is actually widespread and secretly done in religious circles, we would benefit from hearing those stories.
triggered by the legend: what is with 90%-100%?

But the ABA will never be illegal, because fuck everything apart from industry standard minorities.
