Romans 1 pretty much settles that much if not all of unnatural sexual relations have a spiritual basis, plain and simple. People reject the true God and they get turned over. This law is a violation of Christian liberty and religious freedom. If we can not help people see the light in Jesus Christ, we have lost our salt. The devil always strives to take things off limits. He especially loves the nations that do not allow the bible. Leaders who are ignorant of the spiritual side of this equation often do side with the devil. Once this new norm is accepted, I wonder what will be next?
As for church people in any nation where any Christian liberty is forbidden, we are required to disregard the law. Submitting to government authorities only goes so far. When they violate your ability to preach the truth, counsel and carry on the Great Commission you shall follow God and not government in this area. At some point we must be willing to go to jail if necessary. As a practical matter I would think it very hard to define "conversion therapy." Would it include a deliverance session? Would it include sharing Romans 1? Perhaps the focus at the moment would just be licensed Christian counseling? If that is the case there is still room to maneuver. If anyone knows exactly what would be prohibited that would be great.
