    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.
