Republican lawmakers push to ban '''gay conversion therapy''' in Utah

The plan that's been hailed as a milestone by advocates and won't be opposed by the influential Mormon church.

SALT LAKE CITY — Two Republican lawmakers proposed a ban on gay conversion therapy for minors in conservative Utah on Thursday, a plan that's been hailed as a milestone by advocates and won't be opposed by the influential Mormon church.

Republican Rep. Dan McCay acknowledged he isn't a typical sponsor for such a measure, but he said it's an important way to support LGBT youth amid an alarming spike in youth suicide.
===================================================
This nonsense that being gay is the result of demonic possession has ruined a lot of lives & resulted in a growing number of teen suicides. I'm both pleased & surprised at this move in conservative Utah.

I am glad that this issue is starting to take a turn in the people who would have opposed this just a few years ago.

I have met a number of male gay friends of my wife & not one of them is under demonic possession. This 'pray away the gay' horsepucky should be banned so that it doesn't ruin more lives.
