Conversion therapy for LGBTQ people is a violent and unethical intervention in their lives and innate identities. The state of Virginia should accept new guidelines that recognize that LGBTQ conversion therapy is never appropriate under any circumstances, that it violates medical ethics, and that it is profoundly unjust. Furthermore, the state taking action to ban such "therapy" is an important step toward recognizing and publicly acknowledging that there is nothing "wrong" with LGBTQ people; that there is nothing that needs to be "fixed" or "cured" or "converted," and that one's sexual orientation is not a medical condition to be treated, but an inherent part of a person's identity. Please act to accept these guidelines and bring an end to such "conversion therapy" in the state of Virginia.
