Ban conversion therapy
 

This guidance would offer protections to Virginians and prevent them from being subjected to the harmful and discredited practice of “conversion therapy” from a state-licensed therapist. These practices lack a scientific basis. It is time to establish guidelines that are consistent with ethical and affirming care for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ) youth in our state.
