Ultimately, conversion “therapy” hurts LGBTQ youth. Someone doesn’t choose to be a gay or trans – it is not a lifestyle or choice, and as such, no amount of talk or persuasion can make an LGBTQ person not LGBTQ.

We've heard the voices of LGBTQ Kentuckians and we stand with them. Today I was proud to sign an executive order banning dangerous conversion “therapy” on our kids. No child, regardless of their sexuality, should be subjected to harm.
