Andy Beshear Bans ‘Conversion Therapy’ in Kentucky

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) banned the use of “conversion therapy” on minors in his state, “calling his executive order a necessary step to protect children from a widely discredited practice that tries to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity through counseling,” the AP reports.

“The governor took action using his executive powers after efforts to enact a law banning the practice repeatedly failed in the state’s Republican-dominated legislature.”
