Amazon removes controversial books by 'father of conversion therapy'

Amazon has removed English-language books by a man largely considered “the father of conversion therapy” from its site following mounting pressure from LGBTQ activists.

Dr. Joseph Nicolosi, founder of the now-shuttered Thomas Aquinas Psychological Clinic, as well as the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH), authored several how-to guides directed to parents of LGBTQ youth, including “A Parent’s Guide to Preventing Homosexuality.” His books are some of the most well-known works about conversion therapy, the pseudoscientific practice of trying to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity.

“I would say many survivors of conversion therapy could trace their trauma to Nicolosi,” Sam Brinton, head of advocacy and government affairs at The Trevor Project and a survivor of conversion therapy, told NBC News. “His work lent credibility under the guise of ‘science’ to conversion therapy, even though the practice has been disputed and discredited as dangerous and harmful by medical experts.”

More fascism and book burning by the "love wins" crowd.

"Survivor of conversion therapy" my a**

Of course these same morons believe in "gender fluidity", 150,000 genders and LGBTSQXYZ sexual definitions all backed by pseudo-science and quacks who say anybody can be gay with the right drugs and education but you can never be straight.

[G Larry]

Most homosexuals were sexually molested as children and the continued behavior is a coping mechanism that fails to resolve the inner conflict between the learned behavior and the natural desire for heterosexual relationships. 

"Conversion Therapy" is RAPE THERAPY!!

They are banning RAPE THERAPY!!!!!!

Orwellian

There must be some of these conversion books in the Amazon warehouses. Has Amazon thought of a way to get rid of these books? Here's a suggestion. It worked in the 1930's. It should work now.

Fascist book burners.

[Liberty4California]

I feel so comforted knowing somebody is looking out for me, protecting me from anything that might be offensive. Really takes a load off my shoulders that I don’t have to make anymore decisions about these things. Thinking is so much work.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

There are hundreds of books banned from Amazon, including Colin Flaherty's "Don't Make the Black Kids Angry" which documents the "knock out game" and black on white racial violence, most of which never even gets reported. Perhaps his most famous book is "White Girl Bleed A Lot".

The Left fully supports and engages in conversion therapy — but only one way.

[\/\/ayne]

Dr. Joseph Nicolosi, Jr. has a new organization; The Reintegrative Therapy Association. He's still trying to help and addressing the roots for just anybody having trauma so it's harder to ban him.

If “gays” can’t change, then how did actress Anne Heche go from lesbo girlfriend of Ellen Degenerate to happily married to a man with 2 kids?

[TnTnTn]

The lgbqprstuv choose to be the way they are because they were converted by abuse in their earliest days....it isn’t nature it is abusive nurture....

[Reily]

Or DeBasio’s wife went from lesbian activist to married to DeBlasio with I think 2 kids.

[Lurkinanloomin]

You WILL

[Bob434]

so lemme ask this0- if it’s against the law for parents to take their kids to ‘conversion therapy’ in some states, why is it legal for kids to be forced into gov school ‘conversion therapy’ where they turn hetero kids into homos?

[Bob434]

[[Or DeBasio’s wife went from lesbian activist to married to DeBlasio]]

At least she didn’t violate her lesbian inclinations- I guess we could call the marriage a gay marriage

[Bob434]

the homosexuals simply claim “She wasn’t a ‘REAL’ homosexual”- you can’t win an argument with a liberal- they live in a fantasy world where facts don’t matter-

[Skywise]

Because you need proper re-education to understand right thinking citizen.

When is National Banned Book Week?

[I want the USA back]

This is only one of the first. Now that it has started, it will be extended to most other books that prove that the required belief is false.

Did you really think there was freedom of thought in the USA? Ha ha, what a joke!
