I think conversion therapy is a joke (an unpopular opinion around these parts, I admit), but it’s not my views that matter here. If someone wants to go through this, they have that right. No one was forced into anything and no one else is being harmed, so the first amendment argument is a pretty strong one.

If you look at it that way, from the myopic viewpoint of the left, then you are correct.

The reality is that it isn't "conversion" therapy, a label that the sodomite left has given it. It is REPARATIVE therapy, seeking to repair what is broken.

And a lot of these young people who could benefit from such therapy are broken. A majority of them have been sexually molested as minors by grown men. Their sexuality has been turned on its head.

I don't think it works either. I've read about too many cases where the supposedly cured gay returns to homosexuality. They may succeed in repressing the homosexual urges but I don't think you can replace them with heterosexual urges. Obviously any "therapy" that uses electric shocks should be illegal. For the rest, I think at best they are a waste of time and money. At worst they are outright frauds run by homosexuals themselves (George Alan Rekers, anyone?).
