I note they have not prohibited conversion therapy for folks that have found religion has made their lives unmanageable.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Same here, thought NY (being one of the more liberal states) would have done this years ago. Maybe in 2050 we'll finally see it banned in Utah

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

When my daughter came out, a long time friend tried to tell me about these "camps." I basically told him he could go fuck himself if he thought I would ever subject my kid to something like that. He was all offended until he did some actual research into them. I actually got an apology, which really surprised the shit out of me.

Utah? Maybe by 3050.

They should ban it for adults too. But that's harder because adults have the right to make stupid decisions.

I know a lot of people who were put through them. It's frankly sick and disgusting. I can only imagine what those same people would say if there were "Make Them Gay" Camps.
