Ban conversion therapy
 

We must ban this unethical ineffective practice! Children who undergo conversion therapy are undergoing more harm than good, being told their natural feelings are incorrect. If they themselves consent without coercion, they are saying that they feel wrong. But parents and therapists should not be telling children how they must feel.
