Accepting who you are is difficult. Therapy should help with that. This is a sham. There is a healthy amount of gay activity in nature to prove it's not unnatural. So shut that shit down.

Techniques used in conversion therapy included ice-pick lobotomies; chemical castration with hormonal treatment; the application of electric shock to the genitals, nausea-inducing drugs simultaneously with the presentation of homoerotic stimuli; and masturbatory reconditioning.

The highest-profile advocates of conversion therapy today tend to be fundamentalist Christian groups and other organizations which use a religious justification for the therapy.

That flag should be burnt

Any and all mental health therapy should be used to deal with mental illness. Whats the problem?

STILL IN 2021? 🤦🏾‍♂️ Humanity keeps going backwards… 🥱

What the heck’s going on with the BC NDP. They sound more like conservatives.

Ban the practice. That so called therapy shit. Doesn’t work. You all got it. It doesn’t work.
