New Hampshire House Evenly Divided on Banning Conversion Therapy

January 20, 2018

A bill that would ban so-called “conversion therapy” — where a therapist attempts to change the sexual orientation of a child patient from same-sex attraction to opposite-sex attraction, or to change the gender identity of the child — failed by one vote twice, with each tie-breaker cast by the Speaker. The bill may come up again in February.
