CWN Editor's Note: Kentucky lawmakers have overturned Gov. Andy Beshear’s 2024 executive order banning “conversion therapy” for minors.
The executive order defined conversion therapy as “any practice, treatment, or intervention that seeks or purports to change an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity, including efforts to change behaviors or gender expressions or to eliminate or reduce sexual or romantic attractions or feelings toward individuals of the same gender.”
The governor vetoed the legislation overturning his executive order; lawmakers, in turn, overrode his veto, by margins of 78-20 in the state house and 31-6 in the state senate.
