If signed by Governor Hogan, Maryland would join the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrc.org\/blog\/washington-gov-signs-legislation-protecting-youth-from-conversion-therapy\" target=\"_blank\">growing<\/a> number of states and municipalities adopting critical protections for LGBTQ youth.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>\u201cAll children deserve to <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">live<\/a> their lives authentically and should never be subjected to the abusive practice of so-called conversion therapy,\u201d said <\/span>HRC Senior Vice President for Policy and Political Affairs JoDee Winterhof. \u201cThis dangerous and \u200binhumane practice has no basis in science and is \u200buniformly rejected by every major mental health \u200borganization in the country. We thank the state legislators who voted to protect LGBTQ youth and now <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">call<\/a> on Governor Hogan to sign this crucially important legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>\u201cThe Maryland General Assembly has chosen to protect our youth by joining the growing list of states banning conversion therapy,\u201d said <\/span>FreeState Justice Executive Director Mark Procopio. \u201cThese widely discredited and harmful practices have no place here. Governor Hogan\u2019s signature on this legislation will send a message to LGBTQ youth across our state that they are perfect just the way they are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>SB1028 was introduced in the Maryland State Senate by Senator Richard Madaleno and in the House of Delegates by Delegate Bonnie Cullison and passed the legislature with bipartisan support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Senator Madaleno<\/span> said, &#8220;No minor should be forced to go through a practice that clearly every reputable health care organization has dismissed as being both ineffective and unethical. All it does is create more harm and more anxiety for the young person. I am pleased, and frankly, relieved that this bill has passed: relieved, because this bill will help save so many young people&#8217;s lives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Delegate Cullison<\/span> said, &#8220;I am so grateful and happy to have been a part of this affirmation of our LBGTQ youth. Today, with passage of SB 1028, Maryland has made a strong statement that these young people are not broken&#8211;they are beautiful! We owe them our support and our protection under the law.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>There is no credible evidence that conversion therapy can change a person\u2019s sexual orientation or gender identity or expression. To the contrary, research has clearly shown that these practices pose devastating health risks for LGBTQ young people such as depression, decreased self-esteem, substance abuse, homelessness, and even suicidal behavior. The harmful practice is condemned by every major medical and mental health organization, including the American Psychiatric Association, American Psychological Association, and American Medical Association.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Connecticut, California, Nevada, New Jersey, the District of Columbia, Oregon, Illinois, Vermont, New York, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Washington all have laws or regulations protecting youth from this abusive practice. A growing number of municipalities have also passed similar protections, including cities and counties in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington, Florida, New York, Arizona, and Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>According to a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Conversion-Therapy-LGBT-Youth-Jan-2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">recent report<\/a> by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, an estimated 20,000 LGBTQ minors in states without protections will be subjected to conversion therapy by a licensed healthcare professional if state officials fail to act.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>HRC has partnered with the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR) and state equality groups across the nation to pass state legislation ending conversion therapy.
