Conversion Therapy is Harmful, Please Ban
 

Conversion therapy is a harmful practice without any scientific evidence to support its use. No youth or adult LGBT person should be shamed by a mental health professional for who they are. The role of mental health professionals is to honor the dignity and worth of each individual, regardless of their identity and values, and assist them in pursuing a meaningful life.
