Maryland Del. Meagan Simonaire (R) said in a dramatic speech she would vote for a ban on conversion therapy for homosexuality and revealed that her father — state Sen. Bryan Simonaire (R) — asked her to try the discredited treatment after she revealed she was bisexual, the Capital Gazette reports.
The younger Simonaire, who is not seeking re-election after one term, split with her father’s opposition on the measure. The senator tried to block the ban on the Senate floor last week, saying families should have the right to use “loving” conversion therapy.
