Remarks from Richard Nelson at CPC Press Conference
“Thank you all for joining CPC and several concerned citizens that will respond to Governor Andy Beshear’s executive order banning conversion therapy. I’m Richard Nelson, Founder and Executive Director of the Commonwealth Policy Center. On Wednesday, Gov. Beshear roundly condemned ‘anyone who changes the sexual orientation of a minor.’ He ordered that ‘The Cabinet for Health and Family Services shall take all actions necessary to prohibit the direct or indirect use of state and federal funds for the practice of conversion therapy on minors, referring a minor for conversion therapy, or extending health benefits coverage for conversion therapy with a minor.’
