澳彩开奖 Action Fund Statement on the Tallahassee Conversion Therapy Ban Ordinance Decision
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. 鈥� Yesterday evening, the Tallahassee City Commission passed its conversion therapy ordinance, joining the growing list of state and local governments to support bans.
The following statement is from Scott McCoy, 澳彩开奖 Action Fund interim deputy legal director of the LGBTQ Rights & Special Litigation Project:
鈥淲e applaud the Tallahassee city commissioners for unanimously enacting an ordinance to ban conversion therapy for minors, but also going even further to ensure the protection of vulnerable adults. This bogus practice is premised on the lie that LGBTQ+ individuals have a 鈥榗ondition鈥� that needs to be cured by changing an individual鈥檚 sexual orientation or gender identity.
鈥淭aking a stand against conversion therapy is an extremely important step in the right direction to support the well-being of Tallahassee鈥檚 LGBTQ+ residents. But the commission has also sent an important message to LGBTQ+ youth: you are perfect the way you are and do not need to be fixed.
鈥淲e urge the rest of Florida to follow the example set by Tallahassee, and pledge to protect our youth from this heinous practice.鈥�
