Summary
Cuyahoga County just became Ohio’s first county to ban conversion therapy for minors, and the council vote was unanimous. If you care about LGBTQ+ youth protections, this is a real local first—and it puts the county ahead of the state on a practice major medical groups oppose.

Impact analysis
The ban likely won’t hit county taxpayers with a big new bill—enforcement can ride on existing health and regulatory channels—while the payoff is less mental-health harm for LGBTQ+ kids.
LGBTQ+ minors and their families get one more layer of protection from a practice that major medical groups call harmful.
Therapists who offer conversion therapy could lose business or face enforcement—but that’s the point of the ban.
