Updated with VOD release details. Exclusive: The American Psychiatric Association urges “ethical practitioners” to “refrain from attempts to change individuals’ sexual orientation” and it supports legislation that would ban “reparative” or conversion therapies that purport to be able to change someone from gay to straight.
The Human Rights Campaign says, “[C]onversion therapy can lead to depression, anxiety, drug use, homelessness, and suicide.” Nonetheless, the practice remains legal in 19 states (its status is being litigated in three other states).
