Conversion therapy is dangerous, outdated, and ineffective. It causes psychological and emotional harm to those who are “treated” especially young people. It’s been proven harmful and discouraged by the APA and WHO and it’s outrageous to allow this unethical practice to continue. Being LGBTQ is not a mental illness and the members of this community shouldn’t be treated as such, despite people’s “sincerely held beliefs.” Facts and well fair should drive policies, laws, and healthcare regulations.
