Conversion Therapy is Harmful
 

Conversion therapy is an archaic and dangerous practice that has no place in modern society. A business should not be able to profit off of a parent's bigotry and parents should not get the choice to endanger their child's well being either mentally or physically. The State of Virginia has a responsibility to ban such a vile practice and not contribute to an ever-present erosion of the separation of Church and State. Variant sexuality, gender identity, and gender expression has been medically proven to be normal human variance and have no negative impact on children aside from the bigotry of unsupportive, uneducated, and uncaring parents.  The welfare of the state's children is paramount. Don't let Virginia fall behind progress.
