Minnesota lawmaker proposes ban on therapy aimed at changing sexual orientation

A new Minnesota legislator is renewing a push to ban a controversial practice aimed at trying to change the sexual orientation of gay people.

The practice, labeled gay conversion therapy, has been prohibited by 14 states and a number of cities in recent years. Two major movies released last year, including “Boy Erased” starring Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman, further thrust the issue into the public spotlight.
