LORAIN, Ohio (WCMH) -- A northeast Ohio city voted this week to become the 12th in the state to ban anti-LGBTQ+ techniques known as "conversion therapy," used to attempt to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity.
Lorain City Council passed the ordinance unanimously on Tuesday to prohibit healthcare professionals in the city from engaging in conversion therapy with minors.
