I think it's important, also, to note that people who are struggling with their sexuality or gender should be able to receive the support they need, including that ability to explore their identity or to reconcile their faith and sexuality. However, rather than being supportive or exploratory, conversion practices are external attempts to achieve a predetermined outcome of changing or suppressing a person's sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. In a nutshell, it's identifying or seeing being gay is wrong or broken, and that is where we on this side find a problem and why conversion practices should be made illegal. Being gay is not wrong or broken; it's part of someone's identity, and it can't be "fixed".
