On July 20, prime minister Boris Johnson made a statement that he would consider banning so-called conversion therapy after his government had carried out a study. Conversion “therapies” are often associated with Christian practices, but these practices also take place within Muslim communities. Pink News spoke to Khalid, a gay man from a muslim family who underwent a ruqyah in an attempt to “cure” his desire for men. He described his experience of the exorcism and for 6 months afterwards he would emotionally and physically torment himself at moments when he felt that he wanted to masturbate or when he wanted sex. He would scold himself for his overwhelming “evil urges”, swear at himself for being so weak and punch himself as though he needed to be physically shocked out of the feelings. A UK ban on conversion therapy would benefit all LGBT citizens, especially those from religious backgrounds.
