Utah is known for having laws more conservative than most of the United States, but the state has just become the latest to ban the controversial conversion therapy practice for LGBTQ minors.

The ban, however, does not prevent clergy, religious counselors, parents, or grandparents from employing similar conversion techniques, as long as they aren’t acting as psychologists.
