Permit young people to seek therapy
 
  • Some young people may have attractions they desire to change or moderate. Others may simply desire guidance from a counselor to live a chaste life. In either instance, there should be options for families to make informed decisions. 
     
  • The proposed ban would deny families the freedom to seek counseling aligned with their faith.
