Maryland bans "gay conversion medication" for minors

Larry Hogan signed a bill into law on Tuesday to prohibit health professionals from practicing "gay conversion medication" on minors, as a growing number of states & municipalities are banning it. Maryland is the 11th state to enact legislation versus the practice of trying to alter a man's sexistorientation out of psychological intervention. Supporters of the ban note the medication is widely discredited with medicinal & mental health associations. Mathew Shurka, an activist who has campaigned for the measure & experienced conversion medication for 5 years among the ages of 16 & 21, said the Fresh law marks another step toward ending the practice. "We know 700,000 people in the U.S. have been out of conversion medication, & 78,000 Adolescents going to go out of it in the following 5 years, & this is getting America closer to zero," Shurka said.
