In an era when progressives tout “choice” as  the ultimate societal value, it is astonishing that anyone would attempt to limit the kinds of help / counseling sought by someone experiencing same sex attraction. Nor is it remotely appropriate for state agencies to attempt to circumvent and usurp the responsibilities of parents and guardians regarding their children in this matter. This ban smacks of totalitarianism and ought to be rejected out of hand. The government has no material interest in this.
