Gov. Charlie Baker on Monday signed into law a ban on conversion therapy for minors.

The bill passed both branches last session, but lawmakers did not get it to Baker before the clock ran out on the formal legislating calendar for the year.chambers

WBUR Meanwhile in Texas....

WBUR LGBTQ forcing their ideology into our homes and schools. Politicians afraid to push back. Disgusting.

WBUR THIS WHAT PENCE WROTE INTO A BILL FOR PEOPLE WITH AIDS HE SUCKS

WBUR Is this where they try to change the genders of little kids to make them trans?

WBUR Awesome! Next- banning adoption status alone as pathological (another often marginalized group).

WBUR The fact that it's only banned in 15 states is concerning

WBUR You can't change sexual orientation, but if a gay person wants to live a straight lifestyle it's wrong for the government to ban them from seeking help. And wrapping it up with denying trans people the mental health services they need is pure evil.

WBUR YES
