As a member of the LGBTQIA+ Community, it could not cause me more stress to know that there are individuals in this state still being forced to partake in conversion therapy. An ineffective and inhumane approach to “alter one's sexual orientation” in the name of God is outrageous. We adhere to a set of rules outlined in the constitution, one of which being separation of church and state. If a government official were to believe, because of said religious beliefs, that a child without the ability to make a legal, medical decision for themselves or neighbor or whoever be placed under conversion therapy, that government official would be blatantly disregarding the constitution. I hope you guys make the right choice in following our constitution, and the health of all LGBTQIA+ Virginians.
