“I am thrilled by the adoption of the Administrative Rule which ends conversion therapy once and for all in this State,” Rep. Hall said in his statement. “Thanks to everyone who helped develop language that both prohibits conversion therapy and also protects the legitimate interests of healthcare professionals, patients, and families.

”The new rule bans therapists in Utah from practicing conversion therapy, something that the American Psychological Association has reportedly said is not science-based and is actually harmful to mental health., based on the true story of Garrard Conley, who, at 19, was subjected to conversion therapy and later said it made him suicidal.. “You had to really express things that you’d never expressed before.

Utah bans conversion therapy for LGBTQ childrenThe conservative state becomes the 19th to ban the discredited practice. How can this possibly still be a thing in 2020?! Any place that “performs” this kind of asinine therapy needs to be burned to the ground immediately. Good on Utah -this isn’t 1953. Let the children be children and stop sexualizing them. Children shouldn’t be influenced to think that they are either straight or gay at less than maturity ages, period.

This is the dumbest shit I’ve heard in a while. Let a person be god damn it
