Press Play with Madeleine Brand
Gay Conversion Therapy President Obama today is calling for the end of gay conversion therapy because of its potentially devastating psychological effects. The White House says he won’t call for a federal law banning therapists from using such therapies but will support state bans. So far, only California, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C. have banned gay conversion therapy for minors. We talk to an activist who spent five years going through conversion therapy in four different states.
