Whitehall has become the 14th location in Ohio state to ban conversion therapy for minors. The harmful practice has been banned in 23 U.S. states and D.C., according to the Movement Advancement Project. Equality Ohio welcomed the move, writing on social media: “We are grateful for local leaders like Whitehall City Council for taking a stand! We are reminded that the most significant and direct change that we can achieve happens at the local level.” #conversiontherapy #lgbtqia #USA #gayrights #History #progress
