Please out law conversion therapy!
 
  • This guidance protects young people from state-licensed therapists in Virginia who falsely claim to parents and youth that being LGBTQ is a mental illness, and therefore taking advantage of parents and harming vulnerable youth.
  • Being GLBTQ+ is part of a person's basic nature and cannot be changed.  Conversion therapy is harmful and wrong.
