I have 4 children and 10 grandchildren, including some who identify as LGBTQ. Growing up was more difficult for these wonderful children but they were fortunate to have the love and support of their family. They had friends who were not as lucky to have family support, including one friend who experienced what can only be described as emotional abuse during so-called conversion therapy. His parents truly believed they were doing the right thing because it was sanctioned not only by their church but by our government. He spent many years struggling because of the trauma of this experience, and his parents also suffered knowing they had unknowingly placed him in harm's way.  Please adopt this guidance so other parents will be conned into agreeing to harm their children by pseudoscience. Thank you
