Conversion therapy is NOT therapy
 

Real therapy (cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, interpersonal, humanistic, etc.) is used to treat mental illness, homosexuality is NOT a mental illness. Conversion therapy needs to be banned because it is cruel and leads to suicide. Conversion therapy is the result of toxic religious views on homosexuality, there needs to be a separation between church and state.
