List of U.S. jurisdictions banning conversion therapy explained

A majority of the United States population lives in jurisdictions that have banned conversion therapy on minors, although significant gaps in protections remain. Opponents of conversion therapy argue that it is abusive to attempt to change an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity and that the practice is based in pseudoscience. A total of 27 states, as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and more than 100 municipalities have instituted bans on conversion therapy and its governmental funding.

Penalties range from fines to imprisonment. The District of Columbia is the only U.S. jurisdiction whose ban also applies to adults. Three states ban the use of state and federal funds for conversion therapy on minors. In some jurisdictions, bans on conversion therapy have been enjoined on First Amendment grounds.^[1]

Americans overwhelmingly support bans on conversion therapy for minors and do not believe it is effective.^{[2] [3]}

A 2023 report^[4] by The Trevor Project found over 1,300 active conversion therapists still operating in all U.S. states except Vermont and Hawaii.^[5]
