Stop conversion therapy
 

As a former psychiatrist nurse with 20 yrs working with adolescents and young adults, I find. On version therapy to be destructive and inhumane.  I have seen suicide attempts and anguish in these young folks because they don’t fit the “acceptable” sexual model  Stop this now  It is harmful and ignorant
