Please Ban Conversion Therapy
 

We in the LGBTQ community don't need to be, and can't be, fixed to meet society's definition of 'correct' or 'acceptable'.  Science has proven that Conversion therapy only appears to work, but does not change who we really are.  And, all too often, that LGBTQ identity will return to the surface no matter how hard it has been suppressed.

Please stop trying to change us in ways we cannot be changed!  Instead, give us the opportunity to be the best people we can be!

Please ban conversion therapy so that no more vulnerable people can be victimized by it.
