(Frankfort, KY) – The Commonwealth Policy Center responded to Gov. Andy Beshear’s executive order banning so-called conversion therapy. Many question whether it is even happening in Kentucky.

And they have the right to take their children to counselors who support their beliefs,” Nelson said. “This executive order chills the speech and guidance of biblical counselors who are dedicated to supporting parents and the biblical sexual ethic.”
