The entire practice of conversion therapy is rooted in both religious intolerance and junk science. A person's sexual and romantic proclivities are intrinsic to their individual nature as human beings. There is no logical sense in attempting to coerce an individual into sexual expressions against their will. It is widely accepted as being both cruel and psychologically damaging to patients. It is a relic of a byegone era, long since left behind in favor of unbiased science and study. This practice must be banned like the snake oil it is.
