Aside from prison sentences for practitioners, the new law will impose fines for those offering or advertising 'conversion' practices.

The German government on Wednesday signed off on a new law banning"conversion therapies" designed to force heterosexuality on homosexuals.

Once it is approved, Germany -- where there are an estimated 1,000 attempts a year to"re-educate" gay people -- would be only the second European country with such a ban after Malta passed similar legislation in 2016. Aside from prison sentences for practitioners, the new law will impose fines for those offering or advertising"conversion" practices.
