| Description | Norman, Oklahoma is the third most populous city in Oklahoma. Concurrently, it is the only region to ban conversion therapy through an ordinance. The Norman City Council voted on Jun 29 2021 unanimously and around 100 citizens joined in support of the initiative. State law supersedes local laws and the ban is at risk of being rendered defunct if state legislatures were to nullify it's legitimacy. In 2022, a bill was under consideration to prohibit the restriction of conversion therapy in the state. |
