Ban on Conversion Therapy is WRONG
 

There are many times in the life of a child or an adult when constructive comments and criticisms about a wide range of topics from a parent or a friend are appropriate, required, and appreciated.  To take a single issue such as sexual orientation and say that you cannot talk about that particular topic alone is totally absurd.  When a young child asks questions of a parent, that parent MUST have the freedom to address the issue in context with family conditions and values, and must not have unnecessary and absurd restrictions placed upon them by an overaggressive government.  Our constitution was never meant to place such restrictions on the people of our country.
