Ban Conversion Therapy
 

Please act to protect youth from so-called "conversion therapy," a shameful practice aimed at changing youths' sexual orientation or gender identity.

These dangerous and discredited practices are based on the false claim that being lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer is a mental illness that needs to be cured, a view with no scientific basis.

Really, how is this even a discussion? Please do the right thing and ban this asinine practice.
