As a victim of Conversion Therapy I implore you put an end to this archaic torture. Yes, I say victim as I experienced nearly 8 months in isolation. Was given constant and unwanted religious council, and I was powerless to stop it as I was a minor.

I didn’t taste the outside air for those 8 months. I didn’t feel the sun on my skin. I was fed bland hospital food and locked in a room for hours at a time.

 I was told I was sick, when I was perfectly fine and the only way to save myself from this horror was to lie and say i was cured. I was forced to go to an out patient treatment. I lost years of enjoyment from my life. I missed out on school, friendships, and countless other experiences. I can no longer sleep through the night years later. I still have self worth issues and fear arts of my family all because of what conversion therapy did to me. It doesn’t help anyone. 

Those who who practice it are the true perverts. Homosexuality is found in nearly every animal kingdom, but hatred and religion is only found in one.
