Please ban "conversion therapy." This is a discredited practice that can be harmful and dangerous, particularly to youth. This so-called therapy is based on the mistaken and outdated notion that sexual orientation is a "choice" and that one can become an "ex-gay". Young people in particular need to be protected from therapists who promote this discredited practice which promotes being LGBTQ as a "mental illness" - that there is some "wrong" with them. This peddling of shame and rejection and psychological abuse must end.
