Ban Conversion Therapy or Expect More Suicides
 

Conversion therapy is like torture therapy, and has no place in our society.  Everyone is different in more ways than we can possibly imagine, but everyone also shares some of the same common emotions -- fear of being ridiculed for who you are, anguish of having to live in a body that does not define who you are, depression about losing people you love because they feel they don't fit in.

As morale human beings we need to embrace those who identify themselves differently, and acknowledge that the world/universe still holds some mysteries that continue to unfold.
