Conversion Therapy
 

Parents, not the state, know what is best for their children.  Not having the option to try conversion therapy is a type of cruel and unusual punishment.  Not allowing a gay man or woman the opportunity to change, if that is his or her will, is the worst form of intolerance. Furthermore, President Trump has hailed the success of his "Right to Try" policy.  I would think that allowing parents and patients access to all therapies would fall under  the "right to try" guarantee promised to all Americans.
