Ban Conversion Therapy
 

Please act to ban so-called "conversion therapy," a shameful practice aimed at changing youths' sexual orientation or gender identity.

Act to protect young people from state-licensed therapists in Virginia who falsely claim to parents and youth that being LGBTQ is a mental illness, and therefore taking advantage of parents and harming vulnerable youth..
