Mexico's Senate modified the Federal Penal Code and the General Health Law to prohibit and punish presumed therapies to correct sexual orientation, known as conversion therapies.
The reform creates a new criminal classification called “Crimes against Sexual Orientation”.
Punishment:
Prison: 2 to 6 yearsFine: $96 thousand pesos to $192 thousand pesos
Sanctions imposed on whoever performs, imparts, applies, forces, or finances any treatment, service, or practice that hinders, restricts, prevents, undermines, annuls, or suppresses sexual orientation.
The sanction will be doubled when the victims are . . .
