Constitutional advocates and clergy are expressing concern over a new Calgary bylaw banning so-called conversion therapy. The City of Calgary passed the bylaw on May 25 by a nearly unanimous vote.

The bylaw defines conversion therapy as “a practice, treatment, or service designed to change, repress, or discourage a person’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, or to repress or reduce non-heterosexual attraction or sexual behaviour.”
