Hopefully, we can add this as another win for LGBTQ.
This past Tuesday, Democratic lawmakers introduced the Therapeutic Fraud Prevention Act of 2017, which is aimed @ banning conversion therapy for the LGBTQ community. Just in case you're not sure what conversion therapy is, I got your back! It's a type of treatment that was 'created' in the belief that members of the LGBTQ community could go to camps and retreats and @ these camps and retreats, the employees there would try and change these folks' sexual orientation and/or gender identity. Basically believing that they could change who they loved, which is a big crock of bullshit. Of course, the bill is heavily supported by Democrats and opposed by Republicans who believe that this type of therapy shouldn't be banned and deemed illegal. My thoughts: conversion therapy is a bunch of bullshit, it doesn't work, why do you care who other person loves, they don't love you, so what's the problem? If you're not gay, then continue to live your heterosexual life and keep it moving. People in this country are so worried about how the other 1/2 lives and they make it their business and for what?? If it doesn't directly affect you, why the hell do you care?? Fun fact: In February 2016, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo put in place an executive action banning public and private insurers from covering conversion therapy in NY state.
