VIRGINIA: "Ex-Gay" Survivors Sought For Testimony In Support Of Ban Bill
If you are a Virginian survivor of "ex-gay" torture, activists need your help. Via Box Turtle Bulletin:
Virginia is attempting to join the list of states which ban ex-gay therapy on minors. Text of the bill can be found here. Legislative action is going to happen between now and the end of February and Virginia based survivors of ex-gay therapy are urgently needed to speak in favor of the bill. Anyone interested can testify in person or send a written testimony to be read. The bill is being sponsored by Delegate Patrick Hope and the Alliance for Progressive Values (APV). The APV is especially interested in anyone who was forced to undergo therapy as a minor. Interested parties should contact Victoria Bragunier of the APV at 804-517-5206(Tipped by JMG reader Jutta)
