Gay People Who Have Been To Conversion Therapy, Share Your Experience
Conversion therapy is an extremely dangerous practice that tries to change a person’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression through behavioral modification and psychoanalysis.
Clearly, this is not how sexuality works nor is there any reason for people to try and change their sexualities. But we live in a heteronormative culture which results in many gay and queer people being sent to conversion therapy or choosing to go themselves.
If you didn’t know, nearly 700,000 LGBTQ adults in the US alone have received conversion therapy, and half of them received it as adolescents.
