New Hampshires Republican Gov. Chris Sununu signed into law on Friday a ban on gay conversion therapy for minors.
Medical and mental health professionals including the American Medical Association say the practice to change a minor's sexual orientation or gender identity is proven to be ineffective and can cause psychological harm to LGBTQ youth.
Discrimination in any form is unacceptable and runs contrary to New Hampshires Live Free or Die Spirit, Sununu said in a statement, as reported by WMUR. If we really want to be the Live Free or Die state, we must ensure that New Hampshire is a place where every person, regardless of their background, has an equal and full opportunity to pursue their dreams and to make a better life for themselves and their families.
The conservative group Cornerstone Action, which fought against the legislation, expressed disappointment in a statement calling for strengthening the Christian base of the New Hampshire legislature.
"I expected Governor Sununu to stand by Christian principles and veto these bills, but he didn't," Cornerstone executive director Shannon McGinley wrote. "Yes, it's discouraging. We fight to win. The fight is almost always close, but somehow with the grace of God, we've prevailed in some important battles. This time we didn't. And it's a big loss."
New Hampshire becomes the 13th state to ban the practice, and Delaware is close behind to become the 14th.
Legislators in the General Assembly passed the measure on Thursday and it now heads to the desk of Democratic Gov. John Carney, who is expected to sign it into law, according to WDEL Radio.
Sununu also signed a bill on Friday that extends protections against workplace, housing and public discrimination to transgender people, according to WMUR news.
That impending civil war encore is long overdue.
Its already started. Ask Congressman Scalise.

Somewhat better than an across the board banning..
What rationale do they use for usurping parents rights?
Yes, for a substantial number of men and women.
Thus condemning more confused kids to commit suicide.
Well they are like all Republican politicians from the New England states, at least as far as I’ve seen, in that they are all RINO’s. I don’t believe a conservative Republican can be elected up there. I could be wrong, but from what I’ve seen that sure seems to be the case.
Id like to see a Governor Lewendowski.
RINOs throughout New England. Don’t forget the pro-abortion John Rowland. That RINO got punished big time, but likely never learned.
I know years ago John Hopkin’s did sex-reassignment surgery and stopped because the number of post op suicides has huge. 20xs greater! They also found 70%-80% of children who expressed transgender feelings, overtime, lost those feelings.
Of course now they are doing the surgeries again.
The way I look at it, the progressives need victims to keep up their voting block. If they have to use the mentally ill and children (and their idiot parents) they’ll do it.
Still, this is a jolly sight more vicious than anything that had happened in the past. Now they are getting folks to mutilate themselves.
I pray the Lord that the jig be up... soon.
The left always needs victims . It is how the Dem party gets its power.
