Outlaw the practice of conversion therapy

Created by N.I. on July 17, 2014

What is Conversion Therapy? Conversion therapy (also known as reparative therapy) is a range of treatments that aim to change sexual orientation from homosexual to heterosexual. Such treatments have been criticized for being pseudo-scientific.

Same-sex orientation is not a mental disorder, and therefore does not need and should not have a "cure." This type of therapy can provoke guilt and anxiety, making life even worse for some members of the LGBT+ community. If we would like to be a truly accepting nation, the practice of conversion therapy must be stopped.
