conversion therapy ban
Law against "curing" queerness
A conversion therapy ban is legislation prohibiting practices that attempt to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity.
Such bans typically target licensed therapists and sometimes religious counselors who claim to make gay people straight or transgender people cisgender.
Supporters argue these practices cause psychological harm; opponents frame bans as restrictions on religious freedom or parental rights.
The state passed a conversion therapy ban covering minors.
