We need to listen to the medical and mental health experts and protect children, sometimes from their well-meaning parents. Some parents also believe in withholding cancer treatment and wish to cure their sick children through prayer.  As a society we recognize that there are times when "parental rights" must be put aside when the mental and physical health of a child is in danger. There is nothing to stop parents from praying all they wish for their children to be 'cured' of their homosexuality or gender dysphoria.  If their god is so good and powerful, then they don't need to worry about subjecting their children to conversion therapy. God will provide, right?
