President Joe Biden has signed an executive order that seeks to address conversion therapy, a practice that attempts to change an individual’s sexual orientation from homosexual or bisexual to heterosexual or their gender identity from transgender to cisgender using either physical, psychological, or spiritual tactics.

The order asks the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish an initiative to “reduce the risk of youth exposure to so-called conversion therapy.”
