The Netherlands has officially banned gay conversion therapy after the Dutch Senate voted in favor of the new law. The legislation prohibits practices aimed at changing or suppressing a person's sexual orientation or gender identity. Violators face fines and potential prison sentences. The move makes the Netherlands one of the strictest European countries on conversion therapy.
