While the practice has faced significant criticism, a new map highlights the states which still permit conversion therapy.
Despite growing opposition, conversion therapy remains legal in several U.S. states, highlighted in a new map that reveals where the controversial practice is still permitted.Also termed 'reparative therapy,' conversion therapy is the umbrella term for efforts to discourage or change an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity, according to the American Psychological Association.
The three states of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals - Florida, Alabama and Georgia – are subject to a preliminary injunction preventing the enforcement of conversion therapy bans, after the court decided in 2020 that legislating against the practice would violate the First Amendment.Other states, such as Arizona and Wisconsin, have passed partial bans.
