Ohio Revives Bill to Ban Anti-LGBTQ+ Conversion Therapy
In Ohio, lawmakers have revived Senate Bill 71 to ban conversion therapy for minors, in the wake of several cities enacting local bans against the discredited practice. The bill, supported by Senators Nickie J. Antonio and Beth Liston, seeks to prohibit healthcare professionals from engaging in conversion therapy, which has been criticized by major medical organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics. Conversely, in Kentucky, the GOP-controlled House passed House Bill 495, aimed at overturning Governor Andy Beshear's executive order that banned conversion therapy. Supporters of HB 495 argue it protects parental rights and the freedom of counselors and pastors, while opponents highlight the harmful effects of conversion therapy as documented by the American Psychological Association. Both states are experiencing significant legislative movements around conversion therapy, reflecting a broader national debate over LGBTQ+ rights and mental health. The contrasting actions in Ohio and Kentucky underscore the polarized views on this controversial issue.
