What a idiot!This OP literally made me laugh out loud. How clueless and out of touch some people are really does blow my mind, but Iāll give a serious and honest response a shot.I would like to understand why "gay conversion therapy" is wrong

Fighting My White Male PrivilegeāA Confession
So it is wrong to re-educate a person who primarily acts gay because of behavior and not because there is a "gay gene" and training people that "White males" are inherently intolerant, racists, and misogynists?
What is the difference?
White privilege describes the result of how our culture has evolved over centuries of history. Slavery was real, Jim Crow was real, segregation and oppression were real, these things over generations had an impact on the education, wealth, and prosperity of generations of black people. Weāve made great progress over the past several decades, that should be acknowledged, but we still have a ways to go.
Now for conversion therapy... our society has, for generations, taught and promoted heterosexuality. In fact I donāt know of any societies pre-twenty first century that has openly accepted homosexuality in all of human history. Guess what, it hasnāt worked, gay people have always existed and will continue to exist because thatās how they are born. Conversion therapy has been abused by parents who try and force their children to be something other than they are. It shames people and makes them feel alienated. There is a reason why the suicide rate is so high amongst the LBGT community and CT is amongst the thought process that has contributed to that. Plus the fact that it goes directly against the American Value of Life Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Bottom line is, White privilege and Conversion Therapy are polar opposites to compare. One is historical and deals with racism and inequalities in our society while the other is shaming and trying to force a people to change who they are attracted to. Both WP and CT are products of hate and bigotry so I guess you found a link there.
You use that old "I've got to be" gene excuse when you wrote:"how they are born"
Is Sexual Orientation Determined at Birth? - Born Gay? - ProCon.org
And surprisingly I believe there is. But it is NOT the dominant reason there are now a higher percent of gays than there were 100s of years ago.
Society has accepted gay behavior. And in reality most men don't really care who they climax with because it is the climax and not the partner!
So consequently having sex with another man is much more societally accepted and therefore men who would have been frustrated sexually are
finding relief now. Which again proves it is NOT genetically driving but simple availability.
Now as for women.... a pregnancy has much more complications than for a man obviously.
So again women have historically been more monogamously oriented and women historically depended on males.
But with today economic freedoms for women...hey there is no need for men and the risks of getting pregnant.
Hence the growth of homosexuality and lesbianism.
Both of which are LEARNED behavior and again in most cases NOT genetically driven.
Some will dispute that but the very premise of how your genes get passed on i.e. your only link to immortality is by heterosexual activities.
As a result it is proven that a " I've gotta be me" gene has that inherent brake on being passed on. Sex with the same sex sure doesn't promote births!
Anyone with a brain can figure out that being gay is genetically determined and the product of nature creating a natural birth control system.
