The fact that this is even being considered is appalling as the American Medical Association(AMA), the American Psychological Association(APA) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (to name a few) have "made public statements opposing conversion (or reparative) therapy as harmful and ineffective." Even the American Counseling Association has supported bills to ban conversion therapy in other states.
The premise of conversion therapy is that homosexuality is a mental illness that can treated, reversed or cured. The APA itself determined homosexuality is not a mental disorder in 1973. Studies have found that SOCE (sexual orientation change efforts) have been proven ineffective, harmful and even fatal. A 2009 APA study found that there were no supported reliable evidence to support that sexual orientation could be changed; stating that there have been no scientific evidence that homosexuality can be cured by conversion therapy.
The experts in our fields have spoken, loud and clear that this is NOT an acceptable treatment.
Public opinion is mostly on the side of banning conversion therapy - "A 2019 national poll conducted by Ipsos/Reuters found that 56% of US adults support making conversion therapy on youth by mental health practitioners illegal as compared to a minority (18%) who think that it should be legal."

Please make the only correct choice, which is to ban conversion therapy.
