'Conversion' Therapy
 

Hello,  I Thank You for allowing me to put my thoughts down.    I am a 77 y/o Retired Gay White Man.  I am additionally a 100% Disabled-Veteran from Agent Orange-Vietnam 1965.   I am a Gay-Man, because of my DNA...imho.  I DID NOT 'choose' who I am..NO ONE DOES...Hello?   Plus, this usually happens @ the 'peak' of Puberty.  (Total HORMONE overload)  c'mon.

   Subjecting ANYONE to this is way too close to Auschwitz...again...imho.  There is NOTHING to 'convert'..OK?  I'm also very much against 'clipping' new-born Dogs ears, etc.  VERY VERY ANTI Circumcision too...Can just stop with all this scalpel stuff?  WHO do we think we are?   Can we maybe consider opening & acting upon the gift of LOVE?

peace...
