Protect Parental Rights, Family Faith and Children's futures
 

Conversion therapy is not about brutalizing children as some want you to believe.  There are many very kind and compassionate therapists of faith, who want to help kids (and adults, by consent) through their feelings, concerns, problems and insecurities during this very confusing time, within the guidelines of Godly faith.  By usurping parental rights to choose path for healing, self-discovery, self-help, you are also violating the First Amendment's Protections of Exercise of Freedom of Religion if you pass these restrictions.  In essence, the government is imposing its views on the whole family.  This is the beginning of tyranny over the family.  Please resist this path.
