LGBTQ+ participants needed for survey on effects of conversion therapy in Ireland
Researchers from the School of Nursing and Midwifery in Trinity College Dublin are looking for LGBTQ+ people to participate in a research study about the effects of Sexual Orientation Change Efforts (SOCE) and Gender Identity Change Efforts (GICE) in the Republic of Ireland. These practices are more commonly referred to as ‘conversion therapy’ or ‘conversion practices’ and have been widely discredited as ineffective and harmful. The research has been commissioned by the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (DCEDIY).

LGBTQ+ participants needed for survey on effects of conversion therapy in Ireland
All of us need to examine the beliefs we hold, consciously and unconsciously, especially those which prevent us from fulfilling Christ’s command to ‘love one another as I have loved you’. The Church as a whole needs to enter into a process of conversion and be willing to let go of ‘teachings’ that deny the truth and breadth of God’s love.
Otherwise our synodal pathway will be a dead-end.
