Please ban so-called "conversion therapy" in Virginia. As you surely are aware, the conditions this bogus treatment seeks to change are inherent human traits; the supposition that they evidence mental illness have no basis in science, and conversion therapy in reality does great damage, especially to young people.
It is because of this harm, the therapy's well-known failure rate, and the hate- and fear-based motivations of the practice's adherents that I urge you to end the practice in Virginia.
