To anyone who wants to claim that 'reparative' therapy (to convert homosexuals to heterosexuals) should be legal for minors: at least be honest about what you support.
Does this sound like the love of God to you? Does this sound like the path salvation to you?
REPARATIVE THERAPY IS ABUSE. CHILD ABUSE IS CRIMINAL. REPARATIVE THERAPY FOR CHILDREN SHOULD BE CRIMINAL.
SPREAD THE WORD.
- Systematically dehumanizing patients by telling them that they are dirty, broken, and shameful. Verbal abuse is a central part of the therapy.
- Isolating patients from their friends and family and removing any methods of contact like phones and computers. Only approved people are allowed to be contacted at all. Phone calls are often monitered by therapists, violating any hope of privacy. Letters are read before being sent and, if the counselor does not approve of the content, they are discarded.
- Coercing frequent confessions from the patients about how they are sinful or worthless. Often privileges like the ability to contact family or leave the facility are withheld until the counselor feels the patient expresses enough self-loathing. Sometimes the patients are required to give these confessions to their family at the beginning of a phone call in order to speak to them at all.
- Heaping guilt on parents by blaming a gay child on faulty parenting.
- Telling the patient that God hates and rejects them and that, if they still have homosexual feelings, it is because they don't want to change badly enough.
- Forbidding patients to engage in activities and hobbies that they enjoy if they are deemed not "masculine" or "feminine" enough. Males are often restricted from music, art, literature, and theatre. Females are restricted from sports or other physically intensive activities. These rules are enforced regardless of the detriment to the patient's future in his/her discipline.
- Lying about the nature of homosexuality in order to terrify patients into silence on their sexuality. Ex-gay ministries have been known to conjur up such monumental lies as "all gays have AIDS and are going to die" and "the government will kill you if they find out you are gay." These lies are told in order to exert control over the patient through fear.
- Inflicting physical abuse in order to condition gays to fear contact from the same sex. This abuse includes placing ice or hot coils on the subject's hands while showing images of any same-sex contact or delivering electric shocks when homoerotic images are shown. Sometimes the subject is told to deliver the shock to themselves whenever they see an image that is "sinful". If the subject refuses, the button is pushed for them. Some former patients report feeling ghost pains for the rest of their lives whenever they are touched.
- "Touch" therapy, which is based on the mistaken assumption that boys experience homosexual feelings because of a lack of fatherly affection. An older man requires the boy to sit between his legs and he then hugs and fondles the boy repeatedly in order to accustom him to contact from a father-like male figure.
- Requiring boys to display themselves naked to their counselors and touch their genitals repeatedly to get "in touch" with their masculinity.
- Telling patients that all homosexuals live short, lonely, and miserable lives and that the only path to fulfillment is through abusive and expensive therapy.
Does this sound like the love of God to you? Does this sound like the path salvation to you?

On Gender Crisis: It gets better.
I was born female.
I have all the female pieces.
My life was lived in denial of my emotions; a blur of pain, scars, blood, pill bottles, good times...and the opposite.
When I was younger, it was all too confusing for me to focus.
Sometimes I'd forget to breathe.
Sometimes I'd pass out from the crushing anxiety.
I don't blame my 'confusion' on my upbringing. I was born this way.
I was gay. I love a woman.
I was straight. I love a woman.
The very same woman.
I will always love my Sora. Not for one second of my life will I ever stop breathing
for her. Ever stop thinking
for her. Ever stop creating
.for her.

Pansexuality
I think out of all of the different types of sexualities, Pansexuality is probably either the most unknown or the most shamed.
Sure, Homosexuals of all kind usually unite together, but some bisexual or lesbian or gay people look down on Pansexuality. And a lot of Heterosexuals in the first place look down on anything related to that.
A lot of pledged gay men and women just think of being a Pansexual ludicrous because obvious you can only like one or two genders in their book. Heterosexuals aren't the only ones who hate on gays! A decent sized portion o

The Closet
The monsters aren't in the closet.
The monsters are outside.
When we grew up we realized
That in there's where we should hide.
They chased us in here with their knives
And framed us for our "crimes".
They point and say, "Beware the closet!
Monsters are inside!"
I hear them talk about "my kind"
Through cracks between the door.
All I ask is for respect,
How could I ask for more?
The hateful glares, those judging looks
And all the dreadful things
Assault my waking moments
and stalk me in my dreams.
I shake and shiver, whimper and stir,
Safe inside my closet.
But safeness seems so temporary
when outside foes appall it.

I've been doing a little bit of research on "conversion" or "reparative" therapy lately. There are some really heartbreaking stories out there. I feel like this needs to be said, especially to those people I know who oppose the California ban on conversion therapy for minors.
EDIT:
I've gotten enough requests for references that I decided to track down a bunch of my sources and put them here. Some of them are not available on the internet, of course, but I think this should give you a good idea of some of the sick shit that's out there.

I thought therapists were supposed to heal people! I don’t believe in LGBT blah blah blah, but I would never support this!
