Democrats Introduce Bill to Ban Conversion Therapy Nationwide
The bill would make it illegal for anyone to exercise or promote the hateful practice.
Democrats in Congress have reintroduced a proposal to ban the harmful, anti-LGBTQ practice of “conversion therapy” as Republicans are ramping up legislative and ideological attacks on LGBTQ people across the country.
You're viewing a single thread.
Conversion therapy is more like submission abuse. Fucking let people be who they are, it doesn’t affect you in any way.
Real talk, it has less to do with gay people themselves.
But they spent decades making homosexuality the unspeakable boogieman. And now people are out there not just living their lives, but proud of who they are.
The fear from the right is, "If they can be out there living like that, why will my flock continue to believe me when I demand that wives be subservient to their husbands, sex only for procreation, etc.?"
It's about control. Quashing LGBTQ+ folks less easy now, so they're going after an even smaller group of trans people specifically, hoping that it will fragment the backlash and let them re-assert their doctrines.
