The motion by the Greens, SP, AL, GLP and Center was adopted with 90:74 votes and five abstentions. It was rejected by the SVP, EDU and FDP.
The initiative calls on the government council to create the legal basis for a ban on conversion therapy in the canton of Zurich. The goal of such therapies is to change the sexual orientation of lesbian, gay or bisexual people.
The government council spoke out against the proposal. A regulation at the cantonal level does not seem to be compatible with federal requirements, because the federal government regulates legislation on the protection of children and adults in a definitive manner, the government council statement said. There are also efforts at the federal level to ban conversion therapy.
Several opponents of the motion also pointed out this point. Moreover, medical professionals are already prohibited from offering conversion therapies.
Proponents of a cantonal ban argued mainly about the great harm that talking therapies could cause to those affected.
The government council now has two years to prepare a report and an application for the motion.
