Local Governments Seek Re-Hearing in Federal Case That Allowed ‘Conversion Therapy’ Targeting LGBTQ Youths

December 23, 2020 | FlaglerLive | Leave a Comment

In May 2017 then-Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy signed into law legislation protecting LGBTQ youth in the state from what his office called "the destructive and discredited practice of conversion therapy. The so-called treatment, which seeks to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity, has been discredited by nearly every credible medical and psychiatric group in the country and oftentimes includes destructive practices that are harmful to children, such as electric shock therapy. The legislation is House Bill 6695, An Act Concerning the Protection of Youth from Conversion Therapy."

Local Florida ordinances that a federal court found unconstitutional had barred therapists from providing treatment or counseling that is designed to change minors’ sexual orientation or gender identity. Critics of such therapy say it harms minors who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender.
