Conversion Therapy
 

How can you keep conversion therapy from people who want to change? If someone wants to stop drinking, would you keep them from getting help? It's purely tyrannical to keep someone in a lifestyle that they want to escape. You are not wanting to help the individual but are seeking public acceptance. It is purely selfish to hold someone to something that is bringing them down.
