California Governor Jerry Brown signed a law, on Saturday, banning 'reparative' or 'ex-gay' therapy. that is used to change the sexual orientation of LGBT children and teens, reports the Daily Mail.

Gov. Brown said in a statement: "This bill bans non-scientific ‘therapies’ that have driven young people to depression and suicide. These practices have no basis in science or medicine and they will now be relegated to the dustbin of quackery.”

The Human Rights Council (HRC) said it had collected nearly 50,000 signatures on a petition calling for Gov. Brown to sign the bill.

Republican opponents of the law claimed that it violates the rights of parents to make choices for their children.

GRADATION - installation for The Trans Day of Remembrance
GRADATION is a collaborative installation of Women's Initiatives Supporting Group (WISG) and artist Uta Bekaia, supported by Propaganda.network. The voices and video images used in the installation belong to Transfeminist activists and our sisters - Amanda, Gabi, Nata, Tako. All of us are united by the grief that will forever remind us about our Trans sisters killed in the recent years, but we are also united by the same goal - to achieve living in a country and in the society free from Transphobia! #TDOR
