- In his youth, John Becker harmed himself due to the homophobic teachings of his religion. As an adult, he found a way to strike back by going undercover with spy cameras and exposing the lies of a so-called “conversion therapy” clinic.

Running a conversion therapy practice or a camp needs to be a felony. Give those abusive clowns a few years in prison.
Absolutely
Agreed. When someone asks for help from folks viewed as experts, there is a power dynamic that is being abused here. We know the suicide rate among folks sent to conversion therapy is way higher than those who grow up in affirming homes. This is like someone going to a doctor for a hang nail on their hand, asking the doc to amputate their foot, and the doc doing it. It's harmful, unnecessary, and doesn't actually solve the real problem.

"To focus on the breasts. I was designed to be attracted to those things."
Weird. That's the opposite of how I as a presumed straight teenager was always taught to think about breasts by Christians.
Remember breasts are only bad if you're not married ^^

Being gay is normal and natural. Gay love is beautiful.
I understand that you are saying it with the intention of being kind, but love is love, there is no such thing as gay love. :) it simply is just love
ShieldsUp Love in general is beautiful, gay love is no different.
maybe normal is not such a useful word - there would never be progress without deviation from the norm..
If it was normal and natural, you wouldn’t have to say it.
I would say “All Love is beautiful”, but I don’t think I know what it is.
When will it be only "love"??
My favourite part is the straight accountability buddy:
"Hey, are you up? I have the gay itch again"
Gets accountability partner
No one
"Hey I got the gay itch."
"So do i"
Talks for hours.
"Wow you get me.... I really like you"
"Same"
8 months later
Marries accountability partner.
But how do they know you won't feel the gay itch for the straight buddy.
Soooo... basically a date?
What I love even more is that the captions are wrong there and they say “gay accountability partner”
"hey doc, I got that weird rash again. Yes, it still says 'gay'. No, I don't have any idea either"

But seriously thank you, you have more courage than you realize.
Omg I love the term Gaygent 😂😂
These "Christians" are so ironic. Love does NO HARM to the neighbor. But i guess they ignored that one lol.

I’m a Christian and there is nothing wrong with homosexuality
JM I am also a Christian, you are a brilliant example of someone from this religion. Love is love, I am Bisexual but even if I wasn’t I would 200000% support everyone and who they love x
Firstly, she put Christian in quotation marks, which to me indicates she understands the irony that they would call themselves Christians. Secondly, while I am a follower of Christ, I do recognize that a multitude of LGBTQ people have had only abusive relationships with every religious person and institution that they ever encountered. I always have the inclination to say "I am Christian, but not one of those! We have a ton of out LGBTQ in my church!" It isn't always helpful. I have relatives who are happy that is the case, but who were so hurt and abused by the "church" that they could never come to terms with attending again, even if it was a gay affirming congregation. That kind of pain can easily be erased, and we need to live with our discomfort.
It presents moral Christian dilemma framed like this. Does pointing out homosexuality as a disorder help the afflicted at the cost of hurting the feelings of a super sensitive group of fellow human beings.
As a straight person I find the whole idea of "conversion therapy" offensive. ffs it is not a choice it's who they are; getting a dog or cat is a choice; sexual orientation is not a choice. When my niece came out to me when she was 30 years old, she was worried that it would change the way I felt about her. I was initially shocked and a little bit angry that she would even think such a thing, I told her that nothing that she could do would change they way I felt about her; you are my niece and nothing was going to change that as long as she remained the good and caring person that she is and that I love her. She is engaged to equally loving and caring person.
They have a cat and I tease them about being a lesbian couple with a cat. I told them getting a cat is a choice! Their response what since they live in a small condo in Toronto they don't have room for a dog as soon as they are able to afford a house with a yard they will be getting a dog.
Can I suddenly get a crush on a male, as a straight male?
No.
Therefore, "conversion therapy" is useless.
It's irrelevant if it's a choice or not, it's like fighting on the religious fundamentalists terms. It's like arguing about the effectiveness of conversion therapy instead of the real issue of CT being morally wrong and psychologically damaging. It's like trying to argue for pot legalization by saying it has medical uses instead of the more important issue of individual autonomy. Imo

If it is accepted , then hooray ! If it's rejected , then I move on. Judgement will come. But it's not up to me.
I went through 13 years of reparative therapy that included electronic shock therapy which actually proved medically I was born gay. It was done by a psychiatrist who was President of the Baptist Church here at the time. I have since learned that the entire medical medical profession declassified homosexuality as an illness 50 years ago. It did enormous damage. A 51 year marriage to my accepting wife did not change a thing.
Thanks for exposing them.

If I'm reading that correctly, you're saying that if we don't accept our imperfections, we're no longer whole, no longer Light. Very wise thing to say. Who are you quoting, if I may ask?
LGBT wing of leftwing poltical parties hate it but it has helped people
Scott Anderson how ? It’s complete torture over something someone can’t control. I will make a conversion therapy for Christians to go from Christian to atheist.
calo10able no it can’t. You guys might call it control but it’s not control is trauma. You’re ignorant and I don’t blame you I blame your parents and your peers
Damn dude, if I was gay I wouldn't have had the guts. You're a lot braver than I am.

My oh my, from shaming lust to teaching lust
If you are gay or know someone who is, this is important information! Sexual orientation is determined in the womb during fetus development. Various hormones are introduced at specific times to accomplish this .The fetus plays no part in this process. A person is, therefore, born with a predetermined attraction. It is, therefore, not a choice & consequently not a sin & not immoral. It is a natural expression of mammals & found commonplace in nature. Intelligent research in this area clearly explains this process. If you are truly interested in truth, based on knowledge, the book Gay, Straight & the Reason Why by Dr. Simon Levay shows this with numerous research articles. If you want to understand the truth & have respect for yourself & others this book will help. It also has, unlike the bible written over 2000 years by men that had no understanding of science, an extensive bibliography. I strongly recommend the book. Don’t let the religious pull you down to their level of ignorance. Peace
@@dan69052 whoa that's super interesting! thanks for the knowledge :)
@@dan69052 The Bible in fact does not actually say that homosexuality is a sin. That has been the result of poor translation and bias. Even the early history of the church did not see homosexuality as bad until later when there was a great council on this discussion. There were 2 camps on this issue and we see which one won out over the other.

"Gay itch" HA story of my life.
"Her breasts, I was supposed to be attracted to those things." I'm sorry but I laughed pretty hard at that, partly BC I'm attracted to those things. (Yes I'm a girl)
Oh my gosh I forgot all about this comment... I eventually figured out that I'm not a girl but my point still stands.
i think that it is fair enough to advice any "gay" man to reconsider the benefits of sex with a woman - but if that is not his thing - too bad - he will just have to make do with another man.. no point bringing god into it and getting all screwed up the ass in that way..
Lol same
I’m a girl and I’m not a lesbian or anything but yah a females body is really attractive like with a guy it’s just a hair full of chest and a long stick hanging down looking like swuidwards nose
yes..
women have nice bodies - which provide the incentive for men to work hard in bed..

I really like this video. It is important. I'm not religious, but I used to be. What struck me was that as a kid you prayed for god to change you. I simply prayed for him to let me die before I woke up every night. That didn't work either. Gay conversion, will never work. I always knew deep down, that I could never change the fact that I was attracted to other guys. What a lot of people need, is self acceptance therapy, and to know that other people can love them.
Randy D. Omg that “I simply pray for him to let me die before I woke up every night” I relate to this I did this for two years of my Highschool life it was devastating
Many people can probably relate to that. For me it lasted for over twenty years, from Jr. high, until I was well past thirty. It took me that long to accept myself, because of my upbringing and how society treated me. Believe me I know how devastating it can be. That is why it is important to speak or write about it. Letting people know that the past was painful, but we get over it, may help others with their internal struggles.
shots autism:
So you think gay people should castrate themselves? That is just about as sick as anything I have ever heard. Self mutilation could not possibly solve any emotional problems a person has. The fact is I don't want to change who I am. I like that the possibility exists that I might fall in love with another man, and he may love back. I do not want to reduce my attractions to other guys. I have learned that what I was taught as a child, and the way society treated me was wrong. I never did anything that hurt anyone because I was gay. I only hurt myself, and perhaps another boy that loved me when we were teenagers, because I could not accept myself. Because I could not accept myself, I was also unable to accept his love. Even though I really think I loved him, I rejected him. That was wrong, and hurt both of us. I lived in isolation, except for when I was at work for over thirty years, because of depression, internalized homophobia, and fear of rejection. I now fully accept who I am. I hope that it is still possible to find love. I believe it is, even though I am older, and have medical issues. I live in constant physical pain, but I no longer live in constant emotional pain. I am actually happier than I have ever been in my life. Self acceptance, and the acceptance of others, for me was the change that made life worth living. I now have better relations with family members, and those I work with, because I am no longer living a lie about who I am. They all accept me as I am. They also all know that I am gay.
Randy D. sometimes i wish i was fully straight again but i can relate to your story about when u were a teen. i just quit trucking last week after only about 3 weeks because the hours r like 15-20 a day & it's tough working around 21 days in a row. In Riverside, Ca there's this young man with curly hair who works at the Walmart distribution center where i dropped off a load. He looked so cute but since i quit trucking due to the lack of sleep & lack of days off it looks like i'll never get to see him or talk to him again. (I gave my BOL to him & he did my paperwork & i talked to him other times that night.) It's hard knowing this & i think its another reason why i miss trucking because although i drove 48 there would've always been that possibility of seeing him again as my company does a lot of food loads. It was easier being straight, especially since mom is Christian & those attractions are not good? I'm a eunuch now & i'm not sure if that's why my brain changed but now my concern is i have to eat VERY healthy to keep my bones strong.
Sometimes I think it's better being attracted to no one & when i'm really tired this is how it almost is being a eunuch so i basically know what its like being asexual (also i have no libido). Other times i miss having full attraction to women, but thats partly because i associate that with when i was younger (im 30 now). I haven't watched porn since 2015 & never have visual stimulation because most of the attraction faded out with T, so there's never anything (visual stimulation) to look forward to. Testosterone is so powerful i used to have this crush on a girl at work & it faded out so much she's not attractive anymore. I just started a list of eunuch effects on my phone & so far i'm up to 107! Half are awesome, half are bad. If someone could eat healthy being a eunuch isn't so bad after menopause. I prefer it but i also miss my old self so i don't know. Not going bald is really nice but being hot is not. I found quite the cure!
So far I haven't been able to convince any men to join me lol!
its quite remarkable i may be one of the few ppl who figured out how to expand my sexual orientation (if other eunuchs go through that?) but i feel bad right now about the feelings of missing someone.
i had a crush on a guy at Amazon & im starting back there next week & i wonder if the attraction will still be there. it seems like if i stop using my grounding line to sleep at 0 volts i seem to lose some attraction to women? i wish i could try 100% asexual instead of mostly asexual but i dont want to stop grounding & the voltage difference isn't that big of an influence
I'm sorry that that was the version of God that was presented to you. That sounds horrible. I don't want to impose, but if it was the Christian God being talked about, you didn't have to give up belief in him because of your sexuality. I found www.gaychurch.org recently and it was pretty helpful, some of the articles seemed a little fanciful but others had genuinely good arguments.
I just love/hate that a "therapist" honest-to-God advised him that, whenever he looked at a lady, to stare at her chest and go "LOOK AT THEM BREASTS. THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD CRAVE. THEY ARE JUST FOR *YOU!* RECONDITION YOURSELF TO SALIVATE WHEN SPOTTED."
If my parents try to give me transgender conversation therapy, I'm never talking to them again and will sleep in my car.
Oh, I will be giving you a transgender conversion therapy. What's your gender?
Probably your loss, not theirs. Rent your own place soonest if you fear that could happen.
Mae, I completely understand your concern and desire to remain true to yourself, but I only want to offer some helpful information that will keep you out of your car. If you end up in a position of having to leave your home, please do NOT sleep in your car. Do research ahead of time for shelters that you can go to for support. I'm assuming you are under 18, so I want you to know that by striking out on your own and sleeping in your car or other questionable places you are vulnerable to adults who prey on young people such as yourself who will either force you into sex working under a pimp or sex trafficking, and even if this doesn't happen immediately, you are also vulnerable to people who will target you for physical abuse, murder, theft of property, etc., and police are also very likely to harass you, impound your car, or jail you. There are just too many things that could happen depending on where you live and social attitudes around LGBTQ+ issues and homelessness. There are many places that are out there who will help you find a safe place to be, if only you look around. Also, be sure to save up enough money for you to at least get to that place, which may be outside of your city, county, or state. Just be safe! With All My Love to you as you journey through your life and find your place.
@@HotBaraDad666 None of your business!
@@katrubie3 I was gonna convert them to the gender they identify, which is why I said gender and not sex. Lol.
I didn't have conversion therapy thrown at me. I knew when I was 4, that I should have been a girl. I went to my mom with the Sears and Roebuck catalog open to the little girls dresses and I asked her why I couldn't wear them. She told me that I was a boy and boys didn't wear dresses. It took me another 40 years before I became my true self. When I started living as Karen, I experience discrimination from my employer and the customers that we delivered for. I endured a 19 1/2 month unemployed period before I was hired by a mortgage bank. I was hired because of my expertise and my honesty because I laid everything about me on the table. I am now retired at 66 years of age; but, every now and then, discrimination jumps up and bites me in the butt. I stand tall and hold my head up high because I KNOW who I am. I am KAREN and I am strong.

Way to stand tall and be true to yourself Karen! :)
Excellent excellent as a Christian and a gay man you are very correct! Think of it this way. You can’t cast you out of you! Stop trying and love yourself as you are!
Lets be honest, you cant call yourself a Christian and a gay. Pick one. You cannot skip all the parts in the Bible that condemns homosexuality and choose to follow the rest. Its like a vegetarian that eats meat....
Timothy let him do what he wants to. rules change, get over it c:
At no point does the Bible Condemn non-paedophile non-incestuous same-sex romantic, loving monogamous committed relationships between peers. In fact John's Gospel clearly proves that Christ himself was gay. The disciple John was known as the beloved disciple the one that Jesus loved. If Jesus loved all of his disciples equally the only logical conclusion for Christ's singling out John as his beloved is that Christ and John were in a romantic relationship.
+James power I'm going to assume you trolling... read your bible. its very clear about this issue.
Timothy
I'm not trolling. I have a PHD in Theology and Biblical History. When the Bible is translated from the original text in which it was written in context with the time at no point does it for mentioned the Aforementioned relationships and that is a simple fact. You should read the bible your self.
Love is love... no matter your sexuallity .

My mom tries to force me to date boys ever since I told her that I like girls, so this video is really a ray of sunshine for me. Your experience and what you did helped many others that are struggling with feeling different only for their sexuality. Thank you.
At 12 I told my parents I was an atheist because I found the whole concept of gods inconceivable. I believe because of that I never went through any internal strife of being gay.
Paul Andrews I’m so pleased to hear your story. I have often been amazed that, religious people don’t notice that, only religious communities/countries, have an issue with homosexuality. The less religious, the MORE accepting the society is. Funny how people who care, about what they believe, being true. (The critical thinkers) . Don’t care about anyone’s sexuality
I've been an Atheist basically all my life. I still struggled for about a decade to accept my homosexuality. It's because I didn't have any role models, no one in real life I knew who was LGBTQ+ and for a long time I hadn't even seen it in the media. Therefore, I fight for representation, GOOD representation!!
PotterheadGeeK7 I guess I was lucky with self acceptance. I was outed in the mid-70's so I had absolutely no role models, but my parents and friends were very accepting.
budd2nd Not the same for everyone at all and a harmful generalisation. Growing up, most of my LGBT friends and I had very limited interactions with religious communities yet that did not stop a good number of them self harming and going through depression. Currently, I am most happy with my sexuality now in a positive community and having converted to Catholicism. Is this the same for everyone? No, of course not. Sadly, there are many harmful religious communities out there and it disgusts me to think of what they do to one another. However, to generalise that all religious communities are more negative and less accepting than non religious communities is false. For example, recently in China, mass amounts of LGBT media has been completely banned but this is not the case in the USA, which is a strong Christian country. There’s good and bad of everything, including Christians, atheists, Muslims, agnostics and every other religion under the Sun.
Paige Evans I agree. When it comes to the homophobes I personally know, only about half of them are homophobic due to religion. Many are Atheist. The most homophobic political party in my country has a huge number of Atheist followers. A good friend of mine is the (gay) daughter of a reverend and he has declared his church a "rainbow zone" and he has spoken out numerous times in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage. One thing I have noticed though is that extremists are overwhelmingly more homophobic. But your average person who happens to follow a religion is not more likely to be homophobic than your average Atheist.
As someone who is pansexual and grew up in a severely oppressive and abusive Christian home, what this man did is SO NECESSARY! Conversion therapy is disgusting and this man is so incredibly brave and strong for reliving his trauma to spread awareness 🖤🏳️🌈
Sexual attraction to frying pans. May you marry all the frying pans in the world. I'm kidding, but I think it's embarrassing we still have conversion therapy in 2022 last time I checked.

I remember that I was coming home from OzCon in 2011 when the presidential race was warming up. I was travelling by Greyhound and had accidentally missed a reboard call and spent several hours at the station with CNN on. They were talking about Bachmann's conversion therapy. At OzCon, I'd met many openly gay people, and had even felt some attraction to a longtime friend I'd finally met in person. It was this that made me think that being gay wasn't a choice and shouldn't be anything to be ashamed of, revising my position on homosexuality. By the next year's OzCon, I'd finally come out myself. So thanks, John, for being part of that conversation that ultimately made me a better person.

Thanks for exposing conversation therapy. It doesn't work. You're fine the way you are. I'm bisexual and proud. Love is love❤😘
Cassandra Mitch hey
Have a question
NOBODY what's up?
Cassandra Mitch well it works for some people
Yess!
I am SEVENTY years old...and YES I AM GAY. Always have been, an even though I tried to comply with societies expecations, I still rebelled. The last 20 years of my life, however, have the most positive in accepting myself for who I am. I should have done that a VERY, VERY LONG TIME AGO!

Yeah they use words like that to trick morons into thinking there us any degree of medical efficacy to the practice of conversion therapy. They're ready just places where bigoted religionists psychologically abuse homosexuals.
i seriously have been going through the exact same mental and physical journey he has, because i live in a highly religious homophobic household. to hear him say that we aren't "sick and twisted" like some christians say (my dad's two favorite words when referring to lgbtq+) meant so much to me
I was gay and have no problem being attracted to women.
Because I’m a girl
omg i love this
I'm not from the states but Scotland. This sort of therapy would never be allowed here.
I hadn’t talked to my friend in a while and then all of a sudden they texted me saying “hi I just finished my conversion therapy and I am a straight Christian” and I asked her if thats what she really wants and she snapped and started yelling and being extremely angry and way out of character and now im researching conversion therapy 😭
I don't imagine for a second that proponents of gay conversion therapy believe that therapy could turn themselves or other straight people gay. So why do they believe the reverse is possible?
Worrywart money and support from the dumb religious republicans of course. What else?
Of course they believe that. They think that Democrats turns people gay lmfao.
Brilliant.
I had a very similar experience as a child; I wanted to kill myself and kept trying so hard to Change myself. Other kids called me a lesbian before I knew what the word was lol! It's such a long hard journey. It always starts with you've got to love yourself. Don't wait or expect others to do it.
I’m so glad you’re happier now. :D

I highly recommend a new autobiography titled; Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within - written by a gay man and full of extraordinary experiences that lead him to discover the wisdom from within to free himself that allowed him to be himself and help other to happily accept who they are born to be - that being gay is not a sin but a normal expression of the character of LIFE
the truth If you are gay or know someone who is, this is important information! Sexual orientation is determined in the womb during fetus development. Various hormones are introduced at specific times to accomplish this .The fetus plays no part in this process. A person is, therefore, born with a predetermined attraction. It is, therefore, not a choice & consequently not a sin & not immoral. It is a natural expression of mammals & found commonplace in nature. Intelligent research in this area clearly explains this process. If you are truly interested in truth, based on knowledge, the book Gay, Straight & the Reason Why by Dr. Simon Levay shows this with numerous research articles. If you want to understand the truth & have respect for yourself & others this book will help. It also has, unlike the bible written over 2000 years by men that had no understanding of science, an extensive bibliography. I strongly recommend the book. Don’t let the religious pull you down to their level of ignorance. Peace
This comment was a year ago I'm completely a different person now thankyew
Either that, or just gay people in complete denial and pretending they are changed
@Origami Help Desk Destructive tendencies? No self--respect? explain me, how is same sex attraction a destructive tendency or no self-respect? Who are you destroying to? explain me
@Origami Help Desk Yes, but fornication is not homosexuality, everyone can be a fornicator no matter their sexuality
Edit: according the bible, the fornication is having with a prostitute or have sex out of marriage or with someone who didn't get married while you already got married.
Marxist ideological subversion
@Origami Help Desk it's denying, not deny 😂😂😂
Thank you for your courage and activism in exposing the evil of conversion “therapy”. Your dedication to the LGBTQ+ community is greatly respected and appreciated. You have literally saved countless lives through your personal advocacy.
This is amazing!! He also has stutter (I do too)!! Good for you for accepting yourself in terms of your speech and your sexuality and sharing this very important message.
Thank you, John, for your articulate explanation of exposing misguided individuals in conversion therapy. And know this: Jesus is proud of you as you are. I am too....Ray
I'm a straight guy. But thank god we live in 2021 and not in the 50's where you had tv commercials to demonetize being gay..

I still don’t understand why gay conversion therapy is still legal mostly.
Same for me.
Part of me wants to open an under cover gay camp. "Find your true self." Teach kids and adults that they are valid and how to be safe.
Happy to live in Sweden. We don't have these horrible conversion therapy establishments or "treatments" here. At least not as far as I know.
Thank you, John, for telling us your story, and also for doing that work. I can only imagine how much of an emotional challenge it was to put yourself back in that harmful environment. Such courage, but such important work. Thank you!
I feel such gratitude to my parents for raising me in a church (which also happened to be Catholic) where homosexuality was never mentioned - for better or for worse. So when I finally did come out, of all my struggles (and there were plenty - lots of self hatred), none of it was related to God or my faith. I never doubted - for even a moment - that God loved me completely as I was.
PABWECG That is so much like my experience! I feel so bad for the spiritual abuse some people have to suffer. To drive people away from God because of some bizarre idea that the Gospel is about some sort of sexual “purity” is a very grave sin, I think.

Why is it that religion is the one that sees being gay as something to abolish. You take away the religion, and no one seems to have a problem with it.
Thank you so much for this. I was one of those teens who prayed for God to change me. Of course it didn’t happen but we need to offer support for gay teens today
I’m from Minnesota and am DISGUSTED that we have this here
I used to live in Minnesota and Western Wisconsin for 41 years. I am a gay may. I knew about Michelle Bachman and her coterie of religious fantasies. As a Senator she pushed hard for funding for a new bridge between Wisconsin and Minnesota - and it just happened to replace an old bridge in Stillwater, MN, where she lives and works. Her husband is NOT a physician nor does he have a PhD. Quack would be the best word to describe the horrors and injustices of what he and his wife have done to society. These kinds of people are evil personified. It is they who need psychiatric help - better yet, prison terms.

Wow...what courage you have!! Thank you for making this video. Conversion therapists should be arrested and jailed!!
I got my M.Ed. in Community Counseling in 2010. One of my classmates said she would offer conversion therapy if someone asked for it (I informed her of the mortality rate and how unethical that would be, though she felt she should provide it if requested. The rest of the class disagreed, luckily). My cousin was sent to conversion therapy. I stayed in the closet until after I got out, because I saw what happened to him. 10 years after I graduated, I now have worked at a nationally known LGBTQ healthcare agency for the past few years and have helped many folks who have experienced similar issues. I remember when his work first was made public and it was really a help in the fight to criminalize the torture called conversion therapy. I'm grateful for him and the countless others who have made this world safer for us.

@@dan69052 Peace brother ✌
I honestly cannot even imagine someone being told that who they are as a human is wrong, that breaks my heart.
I recently have come to terms with my sexuality (I'm bi), when I found out I had a break down (and still do) in fear. I haven't told my parents yet because I'm so scared. My parents are nice and loving, they can be tough at times but they really care; but I'm scared at how they will react if I come out. I know my mom is all for conversion therapy, she is very religious and believes the being gay is wrong. I'm scared of telling them because I don't want to go to a conversion therapist, but I also don't want my parents to force me to only be attracted to males. What doesn't help is that my mom especially isn't a big fan of bi people, she believes that they are more likely to cheat.
When my brother came out as trans, I will never forget what my dad asked "but you still like boys, right". Whenever I'm attracted to a girl, that's all I can think of. I know that I'm lucky, because at least I still like boys, but I don't know what to do, I want to stop hating this part of me and accept it, but I can't.
If you read all this, thanks for listening to my rant, I have no one to talk to about this, so thanks! I hope you have a good day!
Listen I think you should come out when you are 18 so they won't have the right to send you there.
Great message, thanks for all the hard work
Thank You for sharing this .
I live in MN and I have 1 friend that's been there. She no longer talks to her parents. Underage conversion therapy is illegal in Minnesota. And she's still gay.
It was about 50 years ago when the movie "Boys in the Band" was around. I didn't happen to see it, but I was told there is a scene in which one of the characters prays, begging God to let him be straight. I thought what agony, here this young man wants to be "good", wants to be "right" and tries to reach out to "The Lord" whom he worships to save him, only to be met with silence.
“The gay itch” sounds like a late night show or maybe I’m just too obsessed with the seven year itch
Be you, be proud of you, be happy you're you, you are the only you out there. Being a good person is all that matters. God loves you for who you are. God is love & acceptance, it is only for God to judge and noone else. All are God's children, LGBTQ and Straight, All. Be kind to others.
I'm a victim of sexual abuse and torture. When I told my father about it, his wife wanted to force me into conversion therapy. I didn't even know that women before. And she would call me every single day and try to convince me to go thru it. My abuser was already charged for what he did to me and I never saw my parents in the same light I used to. They didn't support me at all when I wanted to pursue legal actions about my abuser, they didn't support me emotionally, so why would I want to keep them in my life. Hell, no.
