The proposed law allowing psychologists to undertake treatment to reverse homosexuality was approved yesterday, June 18, by the Human Rights Commission of the Chamber of Deputies. The commission president, anti-gay preacher Mr Marco Feliciano [1], took the opportunity of promoting this issue while everyone was protesting against the issue of reducing the bus fares [2] to approve the ‘gay cure’ project [3] [pt]. There are many online petitions [4] [pt] against the measure.
