The Kansas Reflector reports:

The Kansas attorney general demanded three cities repeal their bans on conversion therapy for minors following a U.S. Supreme Court decision that found such bans violate the First Amendment. Attorney General Kris Kobach sent letters Thursday to city officials in Lawrence, Prairie Village and Roeland Park, requesting they respond within 60 days to indicate whether they nullified their bans on conversion therapy.

The collection of practices known as conversion therapy were designed to attempt to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. It is banned in 27 states and more than a dozen other countries, and it has been discredited by major American medical and psychological associations.

An estimated 698,000 LGBTQ+ adults have received conversion therapy in the United States, and more than half of them received it as a minor, according to the Williams Institute at the University of California Los Angeles School of Law.
