Yesterday, the Supreme Court heard a case on Colorado’s conversion therapy ban. Lizzy Liautaud spoke with Gerald Davison, who was once a conversion therapist, himself. Davison recognized before many other psychologists that the practice does not work, and has spent most of his career advocating for compassionate care that embraces diversity.
