The state of Utah has banned the practice of gay conversion therapy, making it the 19th state to forbid it.
The new rule bans therapists in the state from subjecting minors to conversion therapy, a discredited process that attempts to change one’s sexual orientation. The state’s new rule was also passed, in part, with the support of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The church, which has a large presence in Utah, expressed its support for the measure as long as it would include religious exceptions.
