      Croatia had some 70% just in final day, but Denmark stayed at some 80ish the entire time. I’ve only heard about this petition from lemmy, maybe a couple of posts there and here made it work in some cases but not in others

      Dane here. Haven’t seen or heard about the petition.

      I don’t think conversion therapy is a thing in Denmark, so most people are probably like “eh, what’s that old fashioned thing - we are already past that.”

      Could be wrong though.

        Conversion therapy is potentially a thing wherever the Catholic Church is allowed to operate, among other groups (for example here in CPH there is a strong Scientology presence).

        As an Italian living in Copenhagen, I am genuinely surprised people here are sometimes so oblivious to issues in society.

        Same thing with stuff like Salmonella cases, with multiple people telling me “Salmonella is not a thing in Denmark” 🤦

          Thank you for enlightening me!

          I guess Danes can be a little “stuck in their own heads”.

            In Sweden they have the expression “ankdammen” to express the narrow scope of political and social attention. Didn’t learn yet if something similar exists in Danish.
