The use of conversion therapy is both wrong and unethical. Individuals are hurt mentally, emotionally, and in some ways, physically. People who identify as LGBTQ do not deserve to be silenced or invalidated for who they are. Conversion therapy isolates and alienates folks and creates a schism between family. 

Several faith communities provide safe spaces for LGBTQ folk, reducing any need for invasive therapy. With the growth in traditionally restrictive and repressive spaces, it comes time to bring an end to conversion therapy.

No one deserves to be hurt for simply being themselves.
