The Therapeutic Fraud Prevention Act, filed by Senators Patty Murray of Washington and Corey Booker of New Jersey, constitutes a renewed effort from Congressional Democrats to ban conversion therapy after a Republican majority let the bill die without a hearing last year. In a released statement, Sen. Murray cited fresh fears under the Trump administration as a reason for reintroducing the legislation. "On this and so many other issues impacting the LGBTQ community, the Trump Administration has laid out a hateful, damaging agenda to undo hard-won progress, divide our communities, and hurt our friends, neighbors and family members just because of who they are or who they love," Murray said. "So-called 'conversion therapy' isn't therapy at all," Sen. Booker said in a statement. "It's a tortuous, fraudulent practice that has been repeatedly condemned by medical professionals and has no place in our country." Leaving aside for the moment that there isn't a single Trump Administration initiative that seeks to take away gay people's rights - meaning the whole Trump-hates-gays hysteria is completely made up from nothing - there is no particular therapy that fits the description Democrats are offering here.
