Conversion practices are often directed at young and vulnerable people, and mostly happen in religious settings. They’re rooted in shame, stigma, and the false belief that being lesbian, gay, bisexual, or trans is something to be cured. They often leave lasting trauma and shame in their wake.
Thank you to the brave people who shared their story with us.

From the Cenotaph to Cardiff, Belfast and civic ceremonies across the country, humanists stood alongside people of all beliefs this Remembrance to honour those who have died in conflict.
On Saturday 7 November, Defence Humanists and HAND held their annual non-religious Remembrance ceremony in London, with our President Janet Ellis and the London Humanist Choir.
More than four in ten of our regular Armed Forces now have no religion. Everyone who serves deserves a way to remember that’s true to them.

The only two sovereign states to award clerics of the established religion votes in their legislatures are the UK and the Islamic Republic of Iran. Not only this but the bishops get unique privileges, above and beyond other peers.
Thank you Lord Birt and Lord Purvis for raising this in parliament.

'Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.’ – George Eliot.
Last weekend, Defence Humanists and Humanists and Non-religious in Defence (HAND) held their annual humanist Remembrance ceremony at the Royal College of Defence Studies in London. Serving personnel, veterans, Ministry of Defence staff, families, and local humanists came together to remember, joined by our President Janet Ellis and the London Humanist Choir.
More than four in ten regular members of the UK Armed Forces now say they have no religion. They serve alongside colleagues of every religion or belief, and they deserve a way to remember that reflects who they are.
Today we remember everyone who has served, everyone who has died, and everyone still living with the cost of conflict.

In 1955, at the height of the nuclear arms race, Bertrand Russell, Albert Einstein, and nine other leading scientists signed a manifesto putting a stark question to the world: ‘Shall we put an end to the human race; or shall mankind renounce war?’
More than 70 years on, their appeal speaks to all of us: ‘Remember your humanity, and forget the rest.’

Humanists believe everyone should be free to live as who they are and love who they love, and that public policy should be based on evidence and compassion. Conversion practices fail on every count. They are rooted in shame, they cause lasting harm, and they don’t work.
LGBT+ Humanists have campaigned against conversion practices since it was founded in 1979, and many of our members, like Nick, have been through them.

Meaning isn’t hidden somewhere, waiting to be dug up. We create it through what we do, the people we love, and how we treat one another.
Marie Curie believed we should each work to become better people while sharing responsibility for all humanity to create meaning. It’s an idea at the heart of foundation six in How to Be a Happy Human.

It was the 59th birthday of the All-Party Parliamentary Humanist Group on Saturday! 🎂
It's a group of MPs and members of the House of Lords, from across the political parties, who share humanist values. They meet to hear from experts and stand up for us in Parliament.
It first met on 7 November 1967, and today it’s one of the biggest groups of its kind in Parliament!

We will remember everyone.
Everyone who fought, who lived, who died, and every conscientious objector, too.
We will remember their sacrifice.
We will remember their belief in freedom, and the common humanity that unites us.
