Conversion Therapy thankfully banned

[TC Talks]

Why do we need to pass laws to prevent people from harming their kids? This kind of harmful activity should never occur. We have some pretty fucked up religious idiots in this state.

“Today, we are banning the horrific practice of conversion therapy in Michigan and ensuring this is a state where you can be who you are,” Whitmer said in a statement. “As a mom of a member of the community and a proud, lifelong ally, I am grateful that we are taking action to make Michigan a more welcoming, inclusive place.”

House Bill 4617, defines conversion therapy as “any practice or treatment by a mental health professional that seeks to change an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity, including, but not limited to, efforts to change behavior or gender expression or to reduce or eliminate sexual or romantic attractions or feelings toward an individual of the same gender.”

Its companion bill, House Bill 4616, not only prevents a therapist from using conversion therapy on a person younger than 18, but it also creates penalties for those found guilty of participating in the practice.

Does "conversion therapy" also include any actions designed to encourage kids towards a behavior or sexual orientation inconsistent with their actual chromosomes?

This type of conversion therapy is ok, though.

You're a closet homosexual aren't you? With as big a mouth as you have, I bet you can take quite a load.

I never believed in conversion therapy why wasn't it banned when Whitmer first came into office? As I'm sure she could've used EO to ban it.
