Lawmakers in Hawaii approved a bill on Friday that bans the practice of so-called "conversion therapy" on LGBT minors.
"This has been a priority of the caucus for years," said Michael Golojuch, chair of the LGBT Caucus of the Democratic Party of Hawaii, told Hawaii News Now. "(The measure) ensures that LGQTB youth will not be tortured by mental health professionals."
Governor David Ige is expected to sign the bill into lawl
Hawaii joins similar bans in California, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, the District of Columbia, and several local municipalities.
