Delegate Patrick Hope of Arlington has introduced a bill into the Virginia General Assembly which would seek to amend the Code of Virginia to prohibit licensed therapists from practicing "conversion" or "reparative" therapy on minors. The bill, HB1385, is currently before the Committee on Health, Welfare and Institutions.

PFLAG Blue Ridge encourages support of this bill and invites the public to write to members of the House Committee on Health, Welfare and Institutions. Below is a suggested message; contact info for Committee Members follows.
