On May 25th, the City of Calgary joined the ranks of a growing number of municipalities taking a stand against conversion therapy and actually crafting a bylaw banning the practice of conversion therapy. This didn’t come without some controversy though. To help understand the controversy and some of the history behind it, we reached out to Dr Kristopher Wells.
