Holy shit are really this ignorant? A government body caving to something of this nature? Who would have ever have thought that the lbgt community would be against this? Maybe if you posted links for study’s that support and deny the value of this, you could be taken seriously. And then a conversation of substance could be had. So you ha e proof of this kid actually going to these sessions?
Let the parents or their spokesperson admit or deny that this ever occurred. This "therapy" is bogus. These "parents" just torture their kids by putting them through this. This Owen couple should be forced to pay for their son's psychological therapy in the future, but they still will remain hiding under their blankies.
Why should they get a spoke person? Because you say so? You claim they tortured their kids. You have no proof. You want them to pay for his therapy in the future. Why? What basis do you have to make such an irrational statement? Again, they don’t owe any of us an explanation. The kid is an idiot for even bringing it up. He got his college paid for without having to work. That’s all he wanted in the first place.
He didn't bring it up. His teachers did after they realized what was going on and he was sleeping at friends' houses. The fund-raising page was started
after his so-called "parents" could no longer treat him horribly because he moved out and they could do no further damage. One cannot choose one's parents, unfortunately, and he certainly got the short end of the stick. This "conversion therapy" nonsense has been found by mental-health professionals to be damaging to the health of patients, so he probably will be in need of some therapy. While you say that these jerks don't owe anyone an explanation for their vile actions, it has been you that have continuously have insisted that there is another side to the story. If there is, no one is telling it. Their son has made
very specific allegations as to their behavior, and they have not responded.
