A Utah representative is saying that she and her family are facing an “onslaught of vitriol, the likes of which I have never seen” since she helped make major changes to a bill that would’ve banned conversion therapy on minors.
In a Monday email to fellow House colleagues, Rep. Karianne Lisonbee apologized for any "tension I have brought to our body" and said she never intended to cause pain.
The wave of criticism comes after Lisonbee and Rep. Brady Brammer, R-Highland, last week spearheaded a rewrite of a bill meant to bar licensed therapists from trying to alter the sexual orientations or gender identities of minors.
