Conversion therapy is an extremely dangerous pseduoscience based on the false notion that sexuality is able to be changed. the majority of conversion therapy victims are minors who are sent to conversion therapy camps by their parents where they are often beaten and tortured in an attempt to change their sexuality. this leaves the victims traumatized and many are unable to live a normal life due to extreme PTSD. victims of conversion therapy are 8 times more likely to commit suicide, 6 times more likely to develop depression, and 3 times more likely to abuse drugs. in addition to being extremely harmful, conversion therapy is only 18% "successful". this practice has been discredited by the American Psychological Association and it's time for the federal government to follow suit.
