I encourage you to ban all forms of conversion "therapy." Not only is it not effective, it is extremely harmful resulting in traumatic psychological damage. I have a Master's in Rehabilitation Counseling from MCV and I served as a volunteer and Board member with ROSMY (now Side-by-Side) working with LGBTQ youth. I've seen first hand the damage that comes from young people being told there is something inherently wrong with them. It is incumbent upon the State to ensure that these harmful practices, in any form or format, especially under the guise of religion, are expressly prohibited. Thank you.
