As we approach the pivotal election in November of 2020, increasing voter turnout is a powerful way to make a difference at the federal, state, and local level. If you have been searching for an easy and effective way to have a direct impact in these uncertain times, I invite you to join me in the =Vote initiative as part of The Voter Network.

The Voter Network engages with Kansans in nonpartisan voter education and turnout. Together, we amplify underrepresented voices and create stronger communities through the innovative Voter to Voter program. Communities that have routinely been undermined in the political process vote at lower rates than others (including youth, people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, and single women). Their voices are not being heard and policies can reflect that. We have launched =Vote as part of the Voter to Voter program to specifically increase engagement and turnout for LGBTQ+ voters in the state of Kansas.

Ex-gay therapy is the pseudoscientific practice of any attempt to change one’s sexual orientation/gender identity from gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender to heterosexual using psychological or spiritual interventions. It is also known as conversion therapy or reparative therapy, and most recently reintegrative therapy. Because there is no reliable scientific evidence that sexual orientation can be changed, it is considered ineffective and potentially seriously harmful and deadly especially for young people.
