Conversion Therapy is Harmful
 

Hello,

How are you?

My name is Robert. I am a citizen of Prince William Country. 

Conversion Therapy is harmful and terrifying. It also more doors open for abuse and leaves the child with a mental scaring and sometimes a cracked psyche. It’s horrible, inhumane and is similar to a communist re-education camp. It opens door for parents to be psychically, mentally and other forms of abuse I can. Or bring myself to say. It also validated a toxic parent’s view that any form of abuse is okay due to conversion therapy and it’s practitioners view on homosexuality. 

Homosexuality is commonly found in mammals and other animals and is a naturally occurring thing in nature. Penguins are a good example. They’re often in same sex relationships and go one to adopt eggs that have been abandon due to their heterosexual counterparts that didn’t think the egg would survive. 

Same sex couples have existed in indigenous relationships and long ago before modern day. 

Conversion therapy shouldn’t be legal, people have died from it. People have chose to take their own life from the mental abuse and the shame of conversion therapy. 

We are losing future mothers and future father who are three times more likely to adopt them their peers. We’re losing adoptive parents each time a person take their life because of the mental abuse they had to endure in Conversions therapy. 

Conversion Therapy is a re-education camp that is toxic, violent, unhealthy, mentally damaging, that opens up doors from abuse from parents. 

That causes lasting effects that lead to self harm and even suicide.

it should be practice. It’s unethical, immoral, in-humane, and against Human Rights.
