Therapy that aims to convince children they are not gay or transgender is now closer to being banned in Kentucky, after Gov. Andy Beshear signed an executive order on Sept. 18.

The order says that any state agency that finds a provider is providing “conversion therapy” to children shall report that provider to their certification or licensing board for potential disciplinary action.
