Grassroots movement lobbies to ban conversion therapy in Kentucky
Reporter: Olivia Eiler
A grassroots movement is lobbying to make conversion therapy for minors illegal in Kentucky.
Conversion therapy attempts to change a person’s sexuality or gender identity.
Reporter Olivia Eiler heard about the impact an unsupportive family can have on members of the LGBTQ+ community.
Kentucky House of Representatives member Patti Minter is one of the 20 co-sponsors of House Bill 211.
Despite her distance from the Democratic hubs of Louisville and Lexington, she still thinks supporting the bill is right for her constituents in Bowling Green.
Kentucky residents can give their input on House Bill 211 by calling the Kentucky Legislator Hotline at 1-800-372-7181.
