LGBTQ rights advocates are hoping to make it the 20th U.S. state to end the medically denounced practice.
FRANKFORT, Ky. — Twice a week for four years when he was in high school, gay student Zach Meiners underwent “conversion therapy,” a practice that attempts to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity.
Bills aimed at effectively ending the practice have been introduced in the Republican-dominated House and Senate. The proposals would ban mental health professionals from engaging in conversion therapy with people under age 18. The same ban would apply for adults who are under guardianship or those who are wards of the state because they have been determined to lack the capacity for responsible decision-making, Willner said.
