Conversion Therapy is torture
 

whilst i have never had to go through conversion therapy, I have talked to survivors, and they said that it was torture. No, not like torture, it WAS torture. That should be enough to make it illegal everywhere. I mean, what good does it do? Just because the word therapy is in the title doesn’t make it good. Please end conversion therapy for the past, current, and future generations.
