(cont'd from yesterday's post)
Prayer could be unlawful, illegal, in New South Wales, Australia, says the Attorney General there. He seems to say that the government could identify a prayer as a "conversion practice," and then it would be illegal.
A member of the legislative council tries in this video to get clarity, but the answer to the question of whether some prayers could be a "conversion practice" may simply be up to individual judges.
According to the words of the relevant law, if the prayer is said "over or with a particular person in an attempt to change or suppress that person's sexuality or gender," then that's unlawful. It could be punished with five years in prison.
It's almost as if they think that prayer might have influence or some sort of power.
