We want to make sure that as we talk about LGBTQ+ bullying we mention all of the young people in foster care. The President believes that all young people should have the opportunity to grow up in a loving environment where they are free to be themselves. Too often we hear of young people in foster care being subject to conversion therapy, and it’s important for foster parents to also have access to the research on this issue.

See the evidence in the study from SAMHSA that demonstrates the harms of conversion therapy: http://store.samhsa.gov/product/Ending-Conversion-Therapy-Supporting-and-Affirming-LGBTQ-Youth/All-New-Products/SMA15-4928
