Conversion Therapy is both unscientific and harmful.
 

I noticed that people are using the old "parental rights" argument, namely that parents should be able to subject their children to any treatment they choose, even "therapy" that is not based on science and is harmful -- especially to kids.  Conversion Therapy is abuse, not therapy.
