No evidence for conversion therapy
 

No major medical organization in the country supports conversion therapy. There is no scientific evidence that it works. All available evidence indicates that it is psychologically harmful. It is unconscionable to subject children to unproven, damaging "treatment" for the non-problem of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
