If our country were not actively engaged in genocide and the erosion of all civility and decency, I would be as shocked as I am appalled to learn that taxpayer money is funding any discussion of this barbaric practice beyond the time it takes to laugh it out of the room.

To even consider this abusive, heinous treatment of any person (especially one of our own citizens) is by itself a crime against any possible moral center. I am so deeply disappointed that a state that goes to such obnoxious lengths to trumpet personal freedom would not have the wherewithall to grasp how findamentally, diametrically opposed conversion "therapy" is to even the concept of personal liberty. 

I pray you will find your way to the only morally unbankrupt choice,  which is to end this conversation and replace it with its appropriate counterpart: a discussion of how quickly and thoroughly we can ban this form of abuse (which is what it is, Lulu).
