I support banning conversion therapy in Virginia. It is harmful to all LGBTQ people and especially youth. There is no reason to sanction a modality predicated on narrow ideas of what is acceptable behavior. It is 2019 and LGBTQ people deserve nothing less than acceptance and support. If you believe that all people have a right to exist as they are rather than be subject to harmful practices that tell them they need to change to comply with other people's ideas of socially acceptable was to be, you will do the right thing. Please ensure that Virginia not be a place to allow such detrimental practices as conversion therapy. Listen to doctors who are not funded or supported by religious ideological organizations; stand for mental health and a tolerant society.
