This is my first intervention on this bill. I haven't spoken to it on first or second reading, and, basically, I've kept my head down, and I think the response to me and to those who voted against this second reading on social media and in other forums is a pretty good indication of why. It has been a very hostile response. A colleague of mine has been told that that person has a very punch-able face. I've never seen the "C bomb" dropped in as many memes as I have in the last 24 hours, and this is one of the milder ones: "You should be ashamed of yourself. It's 2022. Gay conversion is disgusting and cruel. Maybe you should experience it before agreeing to support it. God, I hope you don't have kids, and if you do, for their sake, I hope they're squares like you."
