LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) â The Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council voted unanimously Thursday to ban conversion therapy for LGBTQ minors.
The vote made Lexington the third city in Kentucky, along with Louisville and Covington, to ban the controversial practice that aims to change someone s sexual orientation or gender identity. This is a step that will further protect LGBTQ+ youth and makes our city a more safe, equitable, and just place to live, councilwoman Hannah LeGris said in a Facebook post Thursday.
Kentucky lawmakers cosponsored statewide conversion therapy bans earlier this year. While that legislation received a historic discussion in Frankfort last summer during an interim joint committee meeting of the Kentucky General Assembly, it received no consideration during the 2021 legislative session.
