I am writing to ask that you recommend this ban on conversion therapy.  I strongly believe that all people are made in God's image and that this type of "therapy" is very harmful to those in the LBGTQ community.  Being LGBTQ is not a mental illness and there is no benefit in providing services that make these people feel like than are "less than".  It can lead to an increase in suicide in this group of people.  We can't allow anyone else to be hurt by this dangerous and discredited practice.
