Kentucky bans conversion therapy for youth as Gov. Andy Beshear signs 'monumental' order
Beshear signed the executive order after similar legislation repeatedly failed in the Republican-dominated state legislature earlier this year.
Kentucky bans treating living beings with respect as Gov. Andy Beshear states "just fucking stop trying, we don't care, fuck off."
From the article:
"Conversion therapy," also known as “reparative therapy,” is a debunked practice that attempts to forcefully change the gender identity or sexual orientation of the patient, which has often been compared to "torture" by its recipients and health care providers alike.
I'm writing this because I was also making the same mistake. I read "Kentucky bans conversion therapy" and I jumped to the conclusion that a republican was banning gender-affirming surgery or something like that (also because I'm not American and I'm not familiar with who Beshear is: he's actually a Dem politician).
Do you know what conversion therapy is?
If they do know and this is bigotry, someone should probably tag the blahaj admins.
