Against conversion therapy
 

I experienced conversion therapy in Virginia, for years. It was one of the most destructive experiences in my life, and it didn't work. Please prohibit licensed practitioners from using conversion therapy techniques of any sort, including talk therapy intended to change someone's sexual orientation or gender identity, with children.
