""If you live this way, either you're gonna kill yourself, or someone's going to go out and kill you for it. And neither of those things matters because God will never love you again.""
""I became one of the nearly 700,000 Americans who have gone through conversion therapy. Though 23 states have implemented some bans on LGBTQ kids from receiving the discredited practice, the Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that Colorado must relegalize it.""
""I was horrified. I understood the pain. I had experienced suicidal thoughts. And I knew that this decision would cost lives.""
At 12, a child faced rejection from their father after discovering their sexual orientation. This led to years of suppressing feelings and seeking conversion therapy at 15, which resulted in a long struggle to reclaim their identity. Nearly 700,000 Americans have undergone conversion therapy, a practice now facing renewed legal challenges. The Supreme Court's recent ruling to relegalize conversion therapy in Colorado, despite its discredited nature, raises concerns about the safety and mental health of LGBTQ youth, potentially leading to increased suicidal ideation and loss of life.
