Conversion therapy is not a licensed medical procedure
 

So called conversion therapy has been discredited by medical organizations world-wide. Practice of this "therapy" is proven to increase depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. 

This practice should be banned in Virginia. No child or teen should ever be forced through this torture again.
