Parental rights, opportunity to choose
 

The rights of parents to seek help for their children should not be hindered by the ideology of others. Additionally, I know of adults who are same-sex attracted and who feel they have deeper issues at the root that stem back from childhood. They wanted to get help with those issues as part of overall treatment focused in same-sex attraction. Why should he not be allowed to do so?  

Please do not ban conversion therapy. Allow therapists to give them kind of treatment that individuals are seeking and let parents and adults decide what they think is best for those they love or for themselves. 

Thank you
