Minnesota’s Democratic Gov. Tim Walz has signed legislation that further enshrines the right to abortion and gender-affirming care into law and another that bans so-called conversion therapy
Minnesota’s Democratic Gov. Tim Walz signed legislation Thursday that further enshrines the right to abortion and gender-affirming care into law and another that bans so-called conversion therapy. The new legislation enhances existing state law that makes access to abortion and gender-affirming care legal and opposes conversion therapy. Walz previously signed an executive order restricting conversion therapy in the state in 2021.
The legislation banning conversion therapy, HF16, which garnered only two Republican votes in the Senate, outlaws organized attempts to convert people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning into straight or cisgender people.
