ban conversion therapy
 

 

Virginia should follow the lead of the National Association of Social Workers and the School Social Work Association of America and oppose so-called conversion or reparative therapies for youth. These types of therapies are harmful, damaging, and do not work. Being LGBTQ is not a disorder or illness.
