Don't restrict one person's right to do something just because another person doesn't want to do it.
 

So called "Conversion Therapy" should never be forced on a person. But neither should any other type of therapy or counseling be forced on a person. It is up to the individual person what they would like to do, and if the individual WANTS to go through conversion therapy then they should have every right to do that. Don't take away one person's right to do something just because another person doesn't want to do it. Only an individual can know what types of therapy they need. The government should not try to make decisions about our private lives based on what they think is right.
