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
The initiative was coming from a French organization. That obviously makes it easier to contact French LGBTQ+ groups to promote that initiative. However it is often difficult to contact groups in other countries, as those contacts are missing. Hence some countries might not have signed as much as they could have.
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.”
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” 🤦
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.
Slovenia is based.
I was expecting better from Denmark, though.

Thank you for enlightening me!
I guess Danes can be a little “stuck in their own heads”.
