A New York state senator is pushing for a new law that would allow individuals who underwent conversion therapy as minors to sue their former practitioners for damages. Conversion therapy, a discredited practice aimed at changing a person's sexual orientation or gender identity, has been widely condemned by medical professionals and human rights groups. The proposed bill would mark a significant shift in the state's approach to addressing the harm caused by this practice, which has been linked to increased rates of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation among its victims. If passed, the legislation could pave the way for a wave of lawsuits against conversion therapy practitioners, seeking justice and accountability for past traumas.
