Kentucky Governor Bans Conversion Therapy for Minors
In a significant move for LGBTQ+ rights, Governor Andy Beshear of Kentucky has signed an executive order banning the use of 'conversion therapy' on minors. This executive order aims to protect young individuals from controversial and discredited practices aimed at changing sexual orientation or gender identity. The governor's decision has been met with praise from LGBTQ+ advocates while raising concerns among religious conservatives who may challenge the ban. This order reflects a broader national conversation about the rights of LGBTQ+ youth and the protection against harmful psychological practices.
