Conversion Therapy ISN'T Therapy-IT'S TRAUMA
 

Conversion therapy is harmful, unsupported by science and goes against what therapists are trained to do. Support the ban! Conversion therapy isn't therapy; it's traumatizing. Anyone practicing it should have their license revoked. Like doctors, therapists should at least do no harm, and at best, heal. This issue has nothing to do with 'parents rights', it has to do with the state maintaining necessary standards for treatment providers who are licensed by the state. Do your job and support the ban!
