Ban Conversion Therapy
 

Conversion therapy has been disproven to be helpful, and shown to create psychic distress to those children who have been subjected to it. It increases the rate of suicide in a group that is already at high risk for suicide. Keep all of Virginia's children safe from intentional harm. Please do what is right and ban conversion therapy.
