In opposition of ban.
 

Virginia law protects the parents rights to make decisions for their children.  Law also protects children from being intimidated and coerced by therapist who pushed on the lgtb agenda when a child expresses confusion, we are seeing a huge overreach in this last part, and including many changes to the DSM to accommodate disorders as natural. Passing this ban will infringe on the rights of citizens, parental rights, and for some religious freedom. Passing this will also open the door to continued misconduct in the health field by coercing children to make choices they are not matured enough to make.
