Conversion therapy might literally save lives.
 

Gay lifestyles can encounter life or death decisions that non-gay individuals will not. Suicide rates are higher for gays than the general population. I believe denying a person access to sought after "conversion therapy " could actually deny that person an opportunity to live a longer and healthier life. Let's not limit the scope of counselors

Allow conversion therapy.
