Okay, so we did gain some success with the petition. We got up to 1000 signatures before unfortunately it ran out of time. Do note, a lot of the other petitions at the same time only got about half of what we did :3

But I can't give up there. Clearly making conversion therapy illegal might be a bit radical for some, so I'm going to take a step down and focus on what California and New Jersey did: make conversion therapy for minors illegal with licensed professionals. This is a progressive step we can make in helping our community out. This will also hold a positive effort in helping gay teens who already have higher suicidal rates.

So I'd like to ask you (since I live in Texas and am not as likely to succeed in this effort) if you support this initiative, write to your congressman and state legislatures! Contact them with this message (please be sure to modify the first paragraph for congressman) to propose a bill to do what California and New Jersey did.
