The British government pledged to end gay conversion therapy Tuesday as it set out plans to improve the lives of LGBT people after a national survey found many experienced discrimination and prejudice.
Prime Minister Theresa May said the 75-point plan aimed to deliver lasting change and address the "burning injustices" faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people that were revealed in a survey of more than 108,000 people.
"I was struck by just how many respondents said they cannot be open about their sexual orientation," May said in a statement on what the government said was the world's largest national survey of LGBT people.
