I believe this proposal would deny families the freedom to seek medical counseling for their children.   The parents have a fundamental right to make the decisions regarding the upbringing, education, and care of their children.

Licensed medical professionals should always be involved over any state proposal that would disallow counseling or therapy efforts to help the individual needing the necessary medical services. 

Virginia should no blindly follow New York City which proposed a similar policy, and repealed its ban. Those individuals proposing this action should take a step back, and think of who is going to be there to support the children and young adults in the future?  I seriously doubt they will be the ones offering support and care.  Everyone knows it will the families.
