I have personally seen what conversion therapy does to a person, and it's wrong. I as a parent could never put my child through that. I love my child with all my heart, no matter whether he is gay or not. Many are screaming that this ban is trying to take away their freedom to raise their child, but it's not.  You should not have the freedom to emotionally and physical abuse your child while hiding behind "God's word" because that's what conversion therapy is. It is not a tool to help with raising or guiding a child, it is a tool of abuse born of ignorance and hate.
