Ban conversion therapy
 

Conversion therapy is dangerous and wrong. It scars people for life. It is a sham science, thinly veiled and hatefully motivated. It is bunk. Attempting to eradicate a normal, harmless feature of human experience is a practice not of science but of hate. The methods used to this end are violent, ignorant, and expose children to a whole class of abusers that they wouldn't otherwise encounter. It is torture, motivated by hate, with no standing to exist in society. End conversion therapy now.
