Utah Finally Banned Subjecting LGBTQ+ Children To Harmful ‘Conversion Therapy’

Utah has finally banned the discredited and harmful practice known as conversion therapy for LGBTQ+ minors, the Associated Press reported on Wednesday (January 22). The move makes Utah the 19th to formally adopt legislation to protect children from the practice, which has been denounced by most medical organizations and is defined by GLAAD as “any attempt to change a person’s sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.”
