Minnesota is the latest state to move toward making so-called 'conversion therapy' illegal

It's one of 39 states to introduce bills on conversion therapy, a widely discredited practice that seeks to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity. Twenty-four states have introduced such bills just this year, according to The Trevor Project, a nonprofit organization named for the 1994 short film"Trevor" that works on suicide prevention among LGBTQ youth.

'A legal form of abuse': Conversion therapy is lurking in the shadowsBrinton says that people often wrongly assume that the conversion therapy is something that no longer happens. But the calls coming in to The Trevor Project indicate otherwise."We at the Trevor Project hear from a survivor of conversion therapy every single week," they said."They genuinely call us because they're in crisis.

Shld b illegal in all states

Minnesota is another state to see the light by correcting a long held and an uneducated wrong. Start locking up these charltans

If we can't convert the moron in office with intelligence, we can't convert others. Way to go, Minnesota.

Omar will have shirah law next

No one should be forced to do something they do not want to do. It is the heart that needs to be healed not the mind.

Shouldn’t this therapy be left up to the individual, whether to choose it or reject it?

Sad

They need to make more laws which to make it harder for people to claim gender dysphoria. There are true people that suffer from it. Then we have people that claim because it's it's an umbrella condition. anyone can go see a therapist and give a BS story to get the diagnosis

Good. It should be illegal everywhere.

Incredible to see the march towards LGBT inclusion & equality. Laws like this, along w/ PeteButtigieg historic campaign for POTUS shows we really have come a long way. Not there yet, still need the EqualityAct and ConversionTherapy bans in all 50 states, but its a start!

With all the Somalis ushered in by Obama now living there, they will soon be throwing gay, transgender, etc off roof tops, so , no therapy needed. Sharia will rule Minnesota if every last illegal Somali is not deported. They have 4 times as many kids as native Minnesotans

And you know what state has not? Indiana. Pence’s state. Birthplace of RFRA. And the NRA convention homeland. The Gunshow State selling guns to anyone. A pathetic state of inequalities and injustice. But the religious right love it. Sad.

Being GAY according to the Bible is a SPIRITUAL issue and SIN. Only God the Holy Spirit can transform someone's heart where they turn back to God and be saved. You cannot covert someone with so-called conversion therapy. God can convict you of sin and you repent. Amen

Good news. Now they should expand FGM legislation making it a felony for parents to knowingly allow it.

Government has absolutely no business digging into personal lifestyles. To each their own. Time to do away with the transgender band in the military. Anyone who wants to fight with me in a foxhole is more than welcome. Go fix education and health care

Conversion therapy is made up

Poetry

yassssssss slay girlllllll. *Beyonce gif. Lets sexualize everything and turn America into a degenerate wasteland!!!!

The conversation therapy was only trying to help gays and reduce the number of suicides.

Should be illegal everywhere

Why is this even allowed here?

Can we get some LGBTQ parades through IlhanMN district? That would be super rad! I heard the Somali community stands with LGBTQ rights.

Great news! Great progress!
