Not my problem, and no, it is not well documented. Conversion therapy can lead to depression, anxiety, drug use, homelessness, and suicide.... Research on the issue of family acceptance of LGBTQ youth conducted at San Francisco State University found that "compared with LGBTQ young people who were not rejected or were only a little rejected by their parents and caregivers because of their gay or transgender identity, highly rejected LGBTQ young people were more than 8 times likely to commit suicide, nearly 6 times more to report depression, more than three times more to resort to illegal drugs... More info here: www.hrc.org/resources/the-lies-and-dangers-of-reparative-therapy I would ask Arlon to provide a link to an authoritative source which disputes this fact. But he won't. Equating homosexuality and those with gender fluidity with 'mental illness' is retrogressive, taking one back thirty years. But then Arlon has a thing about those who are mentally handicapped, often referring to such people insultingly and in the most gratuitous terms. Not to mention McKrae Game, one of the biggest proponents of conversion therapy, came out of the closet. So much for it's effectiveness.
