It’s pretty quiet, now, except when you walk into Rosebud’s Cafe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a place that shouts its values from its walls: bright green paint, huge family portraits, and tons of posters and flyers announcing programs for the arts, supporting local homeless initiatives and advocating for LGBTQ rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least half the customers are from far out of town — Stockton, Manteca, Monterey — and Tyx’s mom, Mary Pulskamp, says that’s important, because Rosebud’s doesn’t always feel the love from all of their neighbors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re very grateful for city people coming out here.

It’s like my sibling, Rosebud’s. It’s like the fourth child.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His parents and aunt and uncle opened Rosebud’s, and his brother, Roibeard Kyle, is the chef. “When the farm has a bumper crop of something, we’re going to use those for sure.

There was the controversial neon-pink baseball cap, and the short hair dyed purple that provoked a teacher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She pulled me aside on the way out to PE one day and told me that I was ruining my life,” Tyx recalls. He pauses, then continues, “I knew then that she was wrong. But what I didn’t know was how her saying that would still be a part of my consciousness, 30 years later. That’s obscene! I was just a fat little girl. I was just trying to be OK.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He didn’t know it then, but Tyx is a trans man. Playing with his look, he learned about himself. There was a mohawk, clothes cut up and pieced back together, decorated with safety pins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For me, our parents giving us the room to express ourselves through our physical aesthetic was a matter of my survival. If I wasn’t cutting my hair, I might have cut myself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says that, especially in his mother, he had a model of how to show his true self, even at church. When others filled the back pews, he says, “My family always went straight to the front and sat in the front row, mohawk, purple hair and all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tyx remembers his mom getting chastised for changing the words of hymns, like referring to God as “she.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s who was looking out for me, this woman who was strong enough to say, ‘These are the right words for the song I’m singing. I’m talking right now from my soul.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With that family support, Tyx has moved through the restaurant with ease and authority since he was a kid. Today, he’s wearing a kilt, his full red beard braided, as he handles orders and recommends local sights to visitors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11758127\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11758127\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/Tyx-Waits-Tables-800x742.jpg\" alt=\"Tyx Pulskamp greets customers at Rosebud's Cafe.

School was rough.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in a school of fewer than 800 students, Tyx says he and his collaborators collected over 100 signatures in support of starting the club.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The local paper covered their efforts, and letters to the editor showed a community divided.

I cut my driver’s license in half right over the gender marker.” Soon after going off to college, Tyx sat his parents down and said, “If it’s all right, I think I’d like to be your son now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After college in Santa Cruz and a few years in Sacramento, Tyx returned to Jackson. He loves the country, and the rolling hills of Amador County, and wanted to be part of his family’s new farm-to-fork efforts at Rosebud’s.

Take the duck eggs. “The eggs weren’t really a hit in the restaurant.

It’s like my sibling, Rosebud’s. It’s like the fourth child.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His parents and aunt and uncle opened Rosebud’s, and his brother, Roibeard Kyle, is the chef. “When the farm has a bumper crop of something, we’re going to use those for sure.

I was just a fat little girl. I was just trying to be OK.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He didn’t know it then, but Tyx is a trans man. Playing with his look, he learned about himself. There was a mohawk, clothes cut up and pieced back together, decorated with safety pins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For me, our parents giving us the room to express ourselves through our physical aesthetic was a matter of my survival.

It was a request made by Sen. Milton Marks of San Francisco and approved by the Joint Rules Committee of the California state Senate and Assembly. The flag was to be raised at sunrise.

Of the nearly 1,000 responses the governor got to his original tweet, the majority have been in favor of the move and are celebratory. However, some have also argued the flag pole should be reserved for only the state and United States flags.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other municipalities have debated whether to fly pride flags. The city of Dublin initially said it would not to fly the pride flag over City Hall, but then \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11752477/dublin-reverses-its-decision-allows-pride-flag-to-fly-over-city-hall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reversed that decision\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colorado and Wisconsin have also chosen to fly a rainbow flag this month.

George Deukmejian ordered the flag taken down after only a few hours — a decision that Pete Wilson, his eventual successor, strongly agreed with at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the paper:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>…state police reported that ‘there were threats by veterans about shooting or burning the flag’ and that veterans didn’t want to have a scheduled rally under a ‘queer flag.’\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://archive.org/details/BAR_19901018\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-11755434\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/BAR_19901018_0000.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"301\" height=\"459\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/BAR_19901018_0000.jpg 301w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/BAR_19901018_0000-160x244.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 301px) 100vw, 301px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This time around, 29 years later, the raising of the flag seems to have had a different reception.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In California, we celebrate and support our lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community’s right to live out loud – during Pride month and every month,” said Newsom in a press release. “By flying the pride flag over the State Capitol, we send a clear message that California is welcoming and inclusive to all, regardless of how you identify or who you love.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Online and in person, the reaction has been relatively welcoming. Of the nearly 1,000 responses the governor got to his original tweet, the majority have been in favor of the move and are celebratory. However, some have also argued the flag pole should be reserved for only the state and United States flags.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other municipalities have debated whether to fly pride flags. The city of Dublin initially said it would not to fly the pride flag over City Hall, but then \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11752477/dublin-reverses-its-decision-allows-pride-flag-to-fly-over-city-hall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reversed that decision\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colorado and Wisconsin have also chosen to fly a rainbow flag this month.

My mom hates it when I manspread [but] it’s natural for me. Do you feel comfortable when you manspread?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ninety percent of the time when I’m sitting down, I’m manspreading,” Ragan responds. “And then people are like, ‘Ragan, you have on a certain type of clothing, you can’t have your leg like that.’ I’m like, dude it’s fine … chill.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sam started feeling disconnected from their biological gender in elementary school. They first heard the words “nonbinary” in a YouTube video, and when they Googled the term, the results were an epiphany for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I actually exited out of that video,” Sam says. “I didn’t finish it and I typed in ‘nonbinary.’ I was like, I wonder what that means. It brought tears to my eyes because I thought, that describes me so much. … There’s more people like me. This is amazing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ragan, who is cisgender, meaning she identifies with her birth sex, has a condition called \u003ca href=\"https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pcos/symptoms-causes/syc-20353439\">polycystic ovary syndrome\u003c/a>, or PCOS, which boosts her male hormone levels and has given her more typically masculine qualities like facial hair, a deeper voice and muscular arms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know if you’ve seen “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” the movie with Angela Bassett, like how muscular her arms were,” she says. “I’ve had those type of arms since I was a little kid.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ragan says other students at school have approached her about rumors they’ve heard that she is transgender. Sam talks about receiving similarly insensitive remarks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I, for one, feel like it brought me closer to Sam, because it wasn’t the same things, but we bonded over similar situations where people would tell us how they perceive us and our gender, or how we sound … and how we look,” Ragan says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of Sam and Ragan’s teachers are incorporating nonbinary pronouns into their foreign-language curriculum, but both students say there’s still a lot of progress that needs to be made at school, like designating more bathrooms gender-neutral. But Sam says they are glad to live in a state like California that is embracing gender expansiveness much more than in other places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sam talks about their reaction after finding out about California’s new law making nonbinary a legal gender:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The news app on my phone … reminded me, saying that like, oh, California now validates nonbinary as an actual gender, and I was like, that’s great,” they said. “And then I think, like, either last year or a few months after that, they said now California IDs [can] say nonbinary, and I was really excited!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sam and Ragan were both pretty timid when they started high school, but, as they near graduation, they feel like they’ve found their own voices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was shy ’cause I felt like, if I did something out of pocket, I’d be viewed as weird,” Sam says. “Now I’m like, if they view me as weird, I don’t really care. Weird is the new normal. I was quiet, but now I’m loud. I want my voice heard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Sam Mann and Ragan Foster are both seniors at El Cerrito High School.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Do you feel comfortable when you manspread?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ninety percent of the time when I’m sitting down, I’m manspreading,” Ragan responds. “And then people are like, ‘Ragan, you have on a certain type of clothing, you can’t have your leg like that.’ I’m like, dude it’s fine … chill.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They first heard the words “nonbinary” in a YouTube video, and when they Googled the term, the results were an epiphany for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I actually exited out of that video,” Sam says. “I didn’t finish it and I typed in ‘nonbinary.’ I was like, I wonder what that means. It brought tears to my eyes because I thought, that describes me so much. … There’s more people like me. This is amazing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ragan, who is cisgender, meaning she identifies with her birth sex, has a condition called \u003ca href=\"https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pcos/symptoms-causes/syc-20353439\">polycystic ovary syndrome\u003c/a>, or PCOS, which boosts her male hormone levels and has given her more typically masculine qualities like facial hair, a deeper voice and muscular arms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know if you’ve seen “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” the movie with Angela Bassett, like how muscular her arms were,” she says. “I’ve had those type of arms since I was a little kid.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ragan says other students at school have approached her about rumors they’ve heard that she is transgender. Sam talks about receiving similarly insensitive remarks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I, for one, feel like it brought me closer to Sam, because it wasn’t the same things, but we bonded over similar situations where people would tell us how they perceive us and our gender, or how we sound … and how we look,” Ragan says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of Sam and Ragan’s teachers are incorporating nonbinary pronouns into their foreign-language curriculum, but both students say there’s still a lot of progress that needs to be made at school, like designating more bathrooms gender-neutral. But Sam says they are glad to live in a state like California that is embracing gender expansiveness much more than in other places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sam talks about their reaction after finding out about California’s new law making nonbinary a legal gender:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The news app on my phone … reminded me, saying that like, oh, California now validates nonbinary as an actual gender, and I was like, that’s great,” they said. “And then I think, like, either last year or a few months after that, they said now California IDs [can] say nonbinary, and I was really excited!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sam and Ragan were both pretty timid when they started high school, but, as they near graduation, they feel like they’ve found their own voices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was shy ’cause I felt like, if I did something out of pocket, I’d be viewed as weird,” Sam says. “Now I’m like, if they view me as weird, I don’t really care. Weird is the new normal. I was quiet, but now I’m loud. I want my voice heard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Sam Mann and Ragan Foster are both seniors at El Cerrito High School.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

He lives just outside Atlanta with his husband Monte, his dog Amelie, and their cat Hollow. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dining room is decorated with a photo gallery wall of family — his husband dancing with his mother at their wedding and pictures of the couple. But it took a long time and work to get to a place where Nunn said he accepted and loved himself. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a gay man, Nunn said, his father tried to change him. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I was 15, my parents found a men’s workout magazine that I had and drew their own conclusions,” he said. “My dad told me we were going to go on a trip and didn’t tell me where we were going.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the way to their mystery destination, Nunn’s father turned to him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He said he was going to take me to a therapy center to deal with whatever weird sexual stuff I had going on,” Nunn said. “If it didn’t work, he was going to send me to military school to make a man out of me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that moment, everything he knew felt threatened: his relationship with his parents, his home, his social circle. He said that every day for two weeks at a therapy center in Iowa, licensed mental health professionals told him that what he was feeling was sinful, that he needed to change or his soul was in jeopardy, that he was broken. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Nunn was going through was conversion therapy, also known as reparative therapy. It is a widely discredited practice aimed at changing a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. In most of the country, the therapy is still legal for minors. But advocacy groups are trying to change that by pushing legislation in statehouses across the country to ban licensed mental health professionals from practicing conversion therapy on minors. So far 16 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico have banned the practice. Colorado is expected to sign a ban into law soon. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Nunn is trying to help get it passed in Georgia where \u003ca href=\"http://www.legis.ga.gov/Legislation/en-US/display/20192020/HB/580\">House Bill 580\u003c/a> was recently introduced. He’s supporting the bill to help other young people avoid the trauma he lived through. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Conversion therapy is something that at its core is telling somebody that there’s something fundamentally broken with them and not only can it be fixed, it needs to be fixed,” Nunn said in his living room. “That’s a lot of trauma, especially for somebody that’s 15 years old or 10 years old or however old.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Suicide as a side effect\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At 15, Nunn was convinced he needed to be “fixed.” When he wasn’t, he tried to take his life in the woods behind a friend’s house. A note in his pocket said, “God forgive me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His suicide attempt is an all-too-frequent side effect of conversion therapy. LGBT youth are already much more likely to try to take their life than their peers are. But kids whose parents try to change their sexual orientation \u003ca href=\"https://familyproject.sfsu.edu/conversion-therapy-begins-at-home\">attempt suicide at more than double the rate\u003c/a> of their LGBT peers; the suicide rate is nearly triple among young people who also deal with intervention from “therapists and religious leaders.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matthew Wilson, a Democratic state representative in Georgia, introduced the legislation in a majority Republican State House. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I specifically asked just for a hearing this year, no vote, so that we could use this year as an educational moment to really raise awareness about the need for this and how there really is no controversy here, people really aren’t opposing this, at least not in Georgia,” he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill has the same language as other bills that have passed or introduced. It would bar mental health professionals in the state from practicing conversion therapy on minors. When people turn 18, they can put themselves through conversion therapy.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>If passed, the law wouldn’t interfere with clergy and religious counseling. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s been an outcry, not just from the victims and the LGBTQ community,” Wilson said. “But from the medical professionals who say this is not medicine and not only is it not medicine but the harm is very real and lasts a lifetime.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Medical and mental health professions decry practice\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly 700,000 adults have gone through conversion therapy, some half of them as minors, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/Conversion-Therapy-LGBT-Youth-Jan-2018.pdf\">2018 study \u003c/a>from The Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of medical and mental health associations list the practice as something that doesn’t work and is harmful. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.apa.org/pi/lgbt/resources/just-the-facts\">American Psychological Association\u003c/a> says conversion therapy has “serious potential to harm young people because they present the view that the sexual orientation of lesbian, gay and bisexual youth is a mental illness or disorder, and they often frame the inability to change one’s sexual orientation as a personal and moral failure.\u003csup>“\u003c/sup>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Psychiatric Association says ethical practitioners shouldn’t try to change someone’s sexuality because of their responsibility to do no harm. In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.hrc.org/resources/policy-and-position-statements-on-conversion-therapy\">position statement in 2000\u003c/a>, the association wrote that, after four decades, practitioners of “reparative” therapy, “have not produced any rigorous scientific research to substantiate their claims of cure,” meanwhile there are “anecdotal claims of psychological harm.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So national organizations like the \u003ca href=\"https://afsp.org/\">American Foundation for Suicide Prevention \u003c/a>and \u003ca href=\"https://www.thetrevorproject.org/get-involved/trevor-advocacy/50-bills-50-states/#sm.0000l6fe581d7pf4xuvie6tiawg92\">The Trevor Project\u003c/a> are trying to get this legislation passed in all 50 states. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Conversion therapy can be a lot of different things\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes this takes the form of religious prayer. This is where you get the ‘pray the gay away’ kind of concept,” said Sam Brinton, the head of advocacy and government affairs for the Trevor Project. “Sometimes this takes the form of talk therapy where a person may be sitting on a couch and thinking that their mother was overbearing or their father was distant and this is what made them gay … and then in some rare cases, there is a version of this therapy where people try to attach a negative stimulus to an action.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brinton went through the most extreme version, electroshock therapy so that they would hate “any connection that I had to my homosexuality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of these practices can lead to depression, self-harm and, in some cases, suicide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really important that we recognize that parents are actually being lied to here,” Brinton said. “So although I want to support a parent’s ability to raise their child as they see fit, we still have protections in this country that protect youth from harm despite any objections of the parent. And we also have laws that make sure that parents shouldn’t be lied to or defrauded by these snake oil salesmen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the most well-known national organizations providing conversion therapy, \u003ca href=\"https://www.firststone.org/articles/post/concerning-our-transition-from-exodus-international-to-restored-hope-network\">Exodus International\u003c/a>, disbanded after the president, Alan Chambers, disavowed the therapy in 2012 and apologized for any harm or pain it had caused. John Paulk, a known advocate of conversion therapy and of the “ex-gay” movement, came out in 2013 and disavowed the therapy. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not everyone is on board with legislation to ban the practice. \u003ca href=\"https://www.lc.org\">Liberty Counsel\u003c/a>, an evangelical Christian group, is trying to stop the bans through the courts. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The counselors that we work with, they try to respect the wishes of the client and the client is that minor. It’s not the parents, it’s the client and that’s who they have the responsibility to,” said Mat Staver, the head of Liberty Counsel. “And some of those particular clients want to be affirmed in these attractions. Others want to overcome those attractions or live with them but ultimately not engage in certain desires that they may have. So they work with those clients on an individual basis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Staver says conversion therapy bans are a violation of free speech for counselors and a minor’s right to “self-autonomy.” He takes issue with the term “conversion therapy” calling it a politicized term used to conjure up dangerous images of what goes on in this type of counseling. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no other area in counseling where the government has barged into the private counseling room and this should be no exception,” he said. “And it’s just a matter of time before the High Court expressly overrules all these cases and all these laws.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently, the Supreme Court declined to take a case that would have challenged the conversion therapy ban in New Jersey. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates of the ban say that if a practice is deemed harmful or abusive to children in other cases, the state does intervene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Embracing the journey\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The depth of that harm is something Greg and Lynn McDonald, of Johns Creek, Ga., say they didn’t understand when they found out their son, Greg, was gay. They describe themselves as conservative Christians and were worried that their son was committing a sin. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We thought that Greg somehow missed something along the way and that if he had someone to walk with and talk with in regards to it, he’d see and desire to be heterosexual,” Lynn McDonald said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, at that time, when their 34-year-old son was 17, they met with a counselor about conversion therapy, which is legal in Michigan where they lived at the time and in Georgia. If it had been illegal, things might have been different. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would have made me really pause to know that it’s illegal to do that to a minor,” Greg said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their son refused conversion therapy, and they didn’t force him. It took a few years, but Greg and Lynn say that they realized they couldn’t change him and that, as Christians, they shouldn’t try to change him. They found that answer, they said, in the Bible. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a Christian not only am I not supposed to shun my child, I’m actually supposed to love my child and not only supposed to, I’m commanded to.” Lynn McDonald said. “It’s the greatest commandment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, they say, they’re ashamed that they ever considered conversion therapy. But when they found out their son was gay, they didn’t know how to handle it and they felt isolated in their community. It’s why they started a nonprofit, \u003ca href=\"https://www.embracingthejourney.org\">Embracing the Journey\u003c/a>, aimed at helping other conservative Christians who feel alone as parents of LGBTQ kids. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They are supporters of a conversion therapy ban. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Before anybody even thinks about sending their son or daughter to one of these places,”\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>Lynn McDonald said, “they have to be so educated in understanding what this can do to your child for the rest of their lives what kind of pain that can bring.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

He said that every day for two weeks at a therapy center in Iowa, licensed mental health professionals told him that what he was feeling was sinful, that he needed to change or his soul was in jeopardy, that he was broken. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Nunn was going through was conversion therapy, also known as reparative therapy. It is a widely discredited practice aimed at changing a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. In most of the country, the therapy is still legal for minors. But advocacy groups are trying to change that by pushing legislation in statehouses across the country to ban licensed mental health professionals from practicing conversion therapy on minors. So far 16 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico have banned the practice. Colorado is expected to sign a ban into law soon. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Nunn is trying to help get it passed in Georgia where \u003ca href=\"http://www.legis.ga.gov/Legislation/en-US/display/20192020/HB/580\">House Bill 580\u003c/a> was recently introduced. He’s supporting the bill to help other young people avoid the trauma he lived through. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Conversion therapy is something that at its core is telling somebody that there’s something fundamentally broken with them and not only can it be fixed, it needs to be fixed,” Nunn said in his living room. “That’s a lot of trauma, especially for somebody that’s 15 years old or 10 years old or however old.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Suicide as a side effect\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At 15, Nunn was convinced he needed to be “fixed.” When he wasn’t, he tried to take his life in the woods behind a friend’s house. A note in his pocket said, “God forgive me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His suicide attempt is an all-too-frequent side effect of conversion therapy. LGBT youth are already much more likely to try to take their life than their peers are. But kids whose parents try to change their sexual orientation \u003ca href=\"https://familyproject.sfsu.edu/conversion-therapy-begins-at-home\">attempt suicide at more than double the rate\u003c/a> of their LGBT peers; the suicide rate is nearly triple among young people who also deal with intervention from “therapists and religious leaders.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matthew Wilson, a Democratic state representative in Georgia, introduced the legislation in a majority Republican State House. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I specifically asked just for a hearing this year, no vote, so that we could use this year as an educational moment to really raise awareness about the need for this and how there really is no controversy here, people really aren’t opposing this, at least not in Georgia,” he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill has the same language as other bills that have passed or introduced. It would bar mental health professionals in the state from practicing conversion therapy on minors. When people turn 18, they can put themselves through conversion therapy.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>If passed, the law wouldn’t interfere with clergy and religious counseling. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s been an outcry, not just from the victims and the LGBTQ community,” Wilson said. “But from the medical professionals who say this is not medicine and not only is it not medicine but the harm is very real and lasts a lifetime.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Medical and mental health professions decry practice\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly 700,000 adults have gone through conversion therapy, some half of them as minors, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/Conversion-Therapy-LGBT-Youth-Jan-2018.pdf\">2018 study \u003c/a>from The Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of medical and mental health associations list the practice as something that doesn’t work and is harmful. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.apa.org/pi/lgbt/resources/just-the-facts\">American Psychological Association\u003c/a> says conversion therapy has “serious potential to harm young people because they present the view that the sexual orientation of lesbian, gay and bisexual youth is a mental illness or disorder, and they often frame the inability to change one’s sexual orientation as a personal and moral failure.\u003csup>“\u003c/sup>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Psychiatric Association says ethical practitioners shouldn’t try to change someone’s sexuality because of their responsibility to do no harm. In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.hrc.org/resources/policy-and-position-statements-on-conversion-therapy\">position statement in 2000\u003c/a>, the association wrote that, after four decades, practitioners of “reparative” therapy, “have not produced any rigorous scientific research to substantiate their claims of cure,” meanwhile there are “anecdotal claims of psychological harm.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So national organizations like the \u003ca href=\"https://afsp.org/\">American Foundation for Suicide Prevention \u003c/a>and \u003ca href=\"https://www.thetrevorproject.org/get-involved/trevor-advocacy/50-bills-50-states/#sm.0000l6fe581d7pf4xuvie6tiawg92\">The Trevor Project\u003c/a> are trying to get this legislation passed in all 50 states. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Conversion therapy can be a lot of different things\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes this takes the form of religious prayer. This is where you get the ‘pray the gay away’ kind of concept,” said Sam Brinton, the head of advocacy and government affairs for the Trevor Project. “Sometimes this takes the form of talk therapy where a person may be sitting on a couch and thinking that their mother was overbearing or their father was distant and this is what made them gay … and then in some rare cases, there is a version of this therapy where people try to attach a negative stimulus to an action.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brinton went through the most extreme version, electroshock therapy so that they would hate “any connection that I had to my homosexuality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of these practices can lead to depression, self-harm and, in some cases, suicide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really important that we recognize that parents are actually being lied to here,” Brinton said. “So although I want to support a parent’s ability to raise their child as they see fit, we still have protections in this country that protect youth from harm despite any objections of the parent. And we also have laws that make sure that parents shouldn’t be lied to or defrauded by these snake oil salesmen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the most well-known national organizations providing conversion therapy, \u003ca href=\"https://www.firststone.org/articles/post/concerning-our-transition-from-exodus-international-to-restored-hope-network\">Exodus International\u003c/a>, disbanded after the president, Alan Chambers, disavowed the therapy in 2012 and apologized for any harm or pain it had caused. John Paulk, a known advocate of conversion therapy and of the “ex-gay” movement, came out in 2013 and disavowed the therapy. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not everyone is on board with legislation to ban the practice. \u003ca href=\"https://www.lc.org\">Liberty Counsel\u003c/a>, an evangelical Christian group, is trying to stop the bans through the courts. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The counselors that we work with, they try to respect the wishes of the client and the client is that minor. It’s not the parents, it’s the client and that’s who they have the responsibility to,” said Mat Staver, the head of Liberty Counsel. “And some of those particular clients want to be affirmed in these attractions. Others want to overcome those attractions or live with them but ultimately not engage in certain desires that they may have. So they work with those clients on an individual basis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Staver says conversion therapy bans are a violation of free speech for counselors and a minor’s right to “self-autonomy.” He takes issue with the term “conversion therapy” calling it a politicized term used to conjure up dangerous images of what goes on in this type of counseling. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no other area in counseling where the government has barged into the private counseling room and this should be no exception,” he said. “And it’s just a matter of time before the High Court expressly overrules all these cases and all these laws.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently, the Supreme Court declined to take a case that would have challenged the conversion therapy ban in New Jersey. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates of the ban say that if a practice is deemed harmful or abusive to children in other cases, the state does intervene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Embracing the journey\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The depth of that harm is something Greg and Lynn McDonald, of Johns Creek, Ga., say they didn’t understand when they found out their son, Greg, was gay. They describe themselves as conservative Christians and were worried that their son was committing a sin. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We thought that Greg somehow missed something along the way and that if he had someone to walk with and talk with in regards to it, he’d see and desire to be heterosexual,” Lynn McDonald said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, at that time, when their 34-year-old son was 17, they met with a counselor about conversion therapy, which is legal in Michigan where they lived at the time and in Georgia. If it had been illegal, things might have been different. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would have made me really pause to know that it’s illegal to do that to a minor,” Greg said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their son refused conversion therapy, and they didn’t force him. It took a few years, but Greg and Lynn say that they realized they couldn’t change him and that, as Christians, they shouldn’t try to change him. They found that answer, they said, in the Bible. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a Christian not only am I not supposed to shun my child, I’m actually supposed to love my child and not only supposed to, I’m commanded to.” Lynn McDonald said. “It’s the greatest commandment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, they say, they’re ashamed that they ever considered conversion therapy. But when they found out their son was gay, they didn’t know how to handle it and they felt isolated in their community. It’s why they started a nonprofit, \u003ca href=\"https://www.embracingthejourney.org\">Embracing the Journey\u003c/a>, aimed at helping other conservative Christians who feel alone as parents of LGBTQ kids. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They are supporters of a conversion therapy ban. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
