Ban Conversion Therapy
 

Conversion therapy is torture. It is not a legitimate treatment. It is not scientific. And it is absolutely not something that should be inflicted on a child. Any individual should be allowed to explore and discover their own identity and not have it suppressed at the whim of their parents. Ban this outdated, harmful practice.
