'Keeping our children safe': Pennsylvania governor bans conversion therapy

[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf has signed a Tuesday executive order banning conversion therapy for minors.

The Democratic governor signed the executive order this week, directing state agencies to discourage conversion therapy for people of all ages. The executive order also instructs agencies, including the Department of Human Services, to make certain that state funds are not used for conversion therapy.

“Conversion therapy is a traumatic practice based on junk science that actively harms the people it supposedly seeks to treat,” Wolf said in a statement. “This discriminatory practice is widely rejected by medical and scientific professionals and has been proven to lead to worse mental health outcomes for LGBTQIA+ youth subjected to it. This is about keeping our children safe from bullying and extreme practices that harm them.”

#4 It's his retirement plan. As soon as the big medical centers pony up, it will be rescinded.

#5 This legislation prevents Parents from trying to convince their kids that they are not gay. Wolfe is supportive of transitioning minors. I think the headline has been misunderstood. Wolfe is for surgery to transition not the opposite.
