Please outlaw this dangerous and discredited practice that falsely claims to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity/expression. “Conversion therapy” has been rejected by every mainstream medical/mental health organization for decades, but it is still being practiced due to continuing discrimination and societal bias against LGBTQ+ people. Minors are especially vulnerable, and conversion therapy can lead to depression, anxiety, drug use, homelessness, and suicide. Please put a stop to it now!
