VICTORY! Maryland Enacts Legislation Protecting LGBTQ Youth from Abusive \u201cConversion Therapy\u201d<\/b>
\n<\/p>\n

Today, HRC, along with FreeState Justice, a legal advocacy organization that seeks to improve the lives of LGBTQ Marylanders, and WISE claimed victory as Maryland Governor Larry Hogan signed into law SB 1028 \u2014 critical legislation protecting LGBTQ youth from the dangerous and debunked practice of so-called \u201cconversion therapy.\u201d With Governor Hogan\u2019s signature, Maryland joins the\u00a0growing<\/a>\u00a0number of states and municipalities adopting critical protections for LGBTQ youth.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo child should ever be subjected to the abusive practice of so-called \u2018conversion therapy,\u2019\u201d said\u00a0HRC President Chad Griffin. \u201cThis dangerous and \u200binhumane form of child abuse has no basis in science and is \u200buniformly rejected by every major mental health and child welfare \u200borganization. Today, Maryland is a better place for countless young people thanks to the many advocates, allies, parents, and survivors who spoke out against this practice and urged their elected officials — Republicans and Democrats alike — to adopt these crucial protections.\u201d<\/p>\n

FreeState Justice Executive Director Mark Procopio\u00a0said, \u201cIn signing this legislation, Governor Hogan joined the General Assembly in choosing to not only protect LGBTQ youth from harm, but to send an affirmation to children across Maryland who may be struggling with their sexual orientation or gender identity. They are perfect as they are.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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 enacted similar protections, including cities and counties in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington, Florida, New York, Arizona, and Wisconsin. In addition, lawmakers in New Hampshire and Hawaii recently passed similar protections which currently await their governors\u2019 signatures.<\/p>\n

According to a\u00a0recent report<\/a>\u00a0by 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

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. More information on the lies and dangers of efforts to change sexual orientation or gender identity can be found\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
