Protect parental rights and religious freedom.
 

Please do not allow a ban on this type of therapy. Parents have the right to seek out a counselor of their choosing for their own children. The state has no business interfering with the type of therapy that parents choose for their own children. This is very important when someone wants to live their life according to the dictates of their own conscience and how they believe God wants them to live. Same-sex attraction disorder is very real and there are many people who genuinely want to get real help. Banning this type of conversion therapy would prevent sincere Christian therapists from helping people who come to them for treatment to help them live their lives according to the law of God. Do not ban conversion therapy by any means!
