   Hello EU people:

   There is an EU citizen petition to ban the use of "conversion therapy" on LGBTQ+ folks. If that's interesting to you, you can sign it here:

   https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/screen/home

   Please especially take note if you are a national of Spain, Slovenia, Belgium, or the Netherlands; the petition needs about 5x as many votes as it has now, but it also needs to hit a threshold in three additional countries, and those are the four closest.

   Here is a post about the petition:

     In the time since I linked the petition above, Ireland has gone from under 50% to above the threshold! Spain is also now getting very close.

     The petition is up overall 26,000 votes in the last ten days. I don't know whether it can hit a million by May, but turning more countries green definitely sounds viable.
