Maryland becomes 11th state to ban 'gay conversion therapy' for minors

Conversion therapy aims to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity.

Maryland Gov. Lawrence J. Hogan, a Republican, signed the Youth Mental Health Protection Act into law on Tuesday, making the state the 11th to ban “gay conversion therapy” for minors.

Amit Paley, CEO of The Trevor Project, a national LGBTQ youth crisis intervention organization, called the law “a victory in our fight to protect LGBTQ young people everywhere from this dangerous and discredited practice."

Liars, all of them. The therapy works. That's why they banned it.

Actually, it doesn't work, and does terrible harm to the person.

In fact it's methods are questionable if not barbaric.

In the scientific community the consensus is that conversion therapy does not work, and is damaging to the victims.
