As a licensed psychologist, I support a ban on conversion therapy. It is not a free speech, freedom of conscience, or religious freedom issue. Licensed therapists are bound to provide therapy that has a basis in research and humane practice. Licensed therapists are legally bound to not harm their patients. Conversion therapy has been demonstrated to be harmful to LGBTQ people. "Conversion Therapy" is not grounded in science, but rather in religious bigotry. Religious leaders and institutions are free to treat their congregants disrespectfully, but therapists are not.
