The point of this petition is announce support for the LGBT students at the University of Reading and the larger community as a whole. On the 25th of April, a pro conversion therapy for trans people speaker was invited to the UoR. The UN has called conversion therapy torture and the talk violated several University of Reading policies but was still allowed to go ahead. The University of Reading should make a public apology as the talk was abusive, disciminatory and harassment using the UoR's own definition. It violated their code of conduct for external speakers, 'never ok' and harassment and bullying policies. Such talks are unacademic and dangerous to platform for the LGBT individuals at the University of Reading and the wider community.
