Conversion therapy MUST be banned
 

Conversion therapy must be banned.  Experiences during childhood have a significant impact on child mental and emotional development.  While a parent’s intention might be what they believe to be good intentions, conversion therapy can have lasting negative impacts on an individual’s self image.  

Virginia NEEDS to ban this negative practice.
