It’s clear from the accounts of countless people including personal friends and many more in the public sphere that conversion therapy is ineffective and causes immense harm on the mental health of the kind souls that are subjected to it. Furthermore it’s not necessary for the practice of Christianity. Every account I’ve heard has suggested that the people who voluntary go to this “treatment” are manipulated into going by way of guilt. It’s time for VA to join the psychological community and several other states in banning conversion therapy. Thank you for your service to our state.
