SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah’s most powerful LGBTQ support organization is planning to propose legislation that would ban gay conversion therapy for minors.

The Salt Lake Tribune reports Equality Utah has drafted legislation seeking for Utah to join more than a dozen states in outlawing efforts to change a minor’s sexual orientation from homosexual to heterosexual.

Executive director Troy Williams says a legislative sponsor has not yet been secured, but he is optimistic about the chances of the bill passing.

He says he believes the time is ripe for the measure.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has disavowed past therapies aimed at changing orientation and has launched efforts to prevent suicide.

The independent Mormon Mental Health Association opposes therapies “which have been developed to change, alter or reduce sexual orientation.”
