Don't censor speech you don't like.
 

Attempts to ban this therapy are simply attempts to silence views the ban's proponents find distasteful.  The "harm" that comes from this therapy is the idea that something might be wrong with same-sex attractions.  This is a controversial idea.  It should be addressed with argument, not censorship.
