I am the mother of a gay son. He serves others in so many ways, he is a ray of light to the seniors and children he teaches. That anyone would think that he is damaged in any way is outrageous. He is intelligent,  talented,  compassionate, and the most kind and authentic person I know. He was taunted and ridiculed in high school,  and I didn't find out until much later. Those who think conversion therapy is an option is seriously troubled. Someone so afraid of something they don't understand are ones who need help. Please put an end to this horrific practice.
