Conversion therapy is a direct attack on our whakapapa. It fails to uphold our mana motuhake, to be who we are, and does not meet our aspirations of mana orite—equality for all people. We will always support whānau to be who they are. Conversion therapy, which tries to stop takatāpui from being who they are, has no place in Aotearoa—maybe in New Zealand, but not Aotearoa!
