Ban or make it a criminal offense to do non-consensual/consensual conversion therapy or even offer it.
Forcing people to go abroad to "convert them"

More details

As a young member of the LGBTQ+ community I believe that conversion therapy is very detrimental to lots of my fellow peers minds I believe we should all go through out life not having people question your identity or pressure to find a "cure" for being who you are.
