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 Parents 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 persons 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.

I checked bn.com and they still have it.
Any bets on bn.com taking it down before noon tomorrow?
Because they are women........I would never, no matter the level of attraction, be with a man who was formerly homosexual. He’s not changing.
For a certain subset of women being a lesbian is a fad. I’ve seen it. One of my best friends went thru a lesbian period & she is very decidedly heterosexual.
Most books arent manufactured until they are purchased.

I suppose that’s true in some cases. But if I order a book from Amazon on Monday, it gets delivered by Wednesday. So there must be some inventory - however small - somewhere.
Ping to Semimojo. More big tech censorship.
Don’t restrict your action to boycotting. Tell Amazon about it and be heard.
I think a lot of "lesbians" are actually bisexual. I've known several bisexual women, including dating one back in my younger days. Thus, it would be easy for them to switch from having sex with women, to having sex with men.
I think you’re correct also. As far as I know my friend, after college, was all about the men.
And from what I have observed & experienced in life.......gay men ain’t goin’ straight.
Happy 4th FRiend!!!
There's even a term for that: lug (lesbian until graduation)
