Regulatory Action re "Conversion Therapy"
 

I am opposed to Virginia's attempts to regulate away parental rights and to infringe on faith based beliefs since many children are troubled by desires they don't understand and actually want to consult with professionals who can help them work through and understand their feelings, possibly assisting them in overcoming these feelings.  To strip parents of this right is unacceptable and unconscionable.
