Homosexuality : The Underside of Conversion Therapies | FULL DOCUMENTARY

- Accepting one’s homosexuality for an American today ought to be simple? And yet, it is not so straightforward!
700,000 young people in the United States have already undergone so-called conversion therapies, intended to "cure" their homosexuality. Run by religious or pseudo-scientific communities, these therapies promise to fix a supposedly "deviant sexual orientation" and to change a person’s inner identity.
Through social, familial and religious pressure, Mathew, Jordan and Lucas all signed up for these therapies and went through hell: Isolation, sequestration, humiliation, food deprivation, physical and psychological violence.
Today, a political combat is underway to halt these therapies and to acknowledge the victims. This is likely to be a long process, given that such practices are still allowed in 41 states and have the backing of the Trump administration.

Religion’s first issue: inconsistency across the board since the beginning of time.
Yep religion is very inconsistent. I should know I was and believed I was right as a Christian.
As a gay man in my early 20s, I too had tried going straight by attending a weekly group of other gay and lesbian Christians.
Fortunately, there was never any violence nor threat of violence.
I can’t imagine how those young people in those conversion camps must have felt.
My heart goes out to each of them, and I pray they find the peace and love they so richly deserve.❤️
Those fundamentalists are never going to admit, that they are the cause of so many teenagers ending their lives. They have blood on their hands, and they don't care.
How is it we were told to despise and hate the witches, but not warned to fear the pious men who burnt them alive at the stake?
The "pious" man wrote the rules. The witch denied his "affections". In the modern day we'd call them incels.
Christian Patriarchy.
The fact that some conversions are based on the idea that homosexuals hate the opposite sex because they were abused is sickening. I'm sure that some people actually used that as a psychological defense mechanism for their own mental health. But in that case, like many other psychological traumas you can deal with it with a psychotherapy. It has nothing to do with being gay.
I'm gay and i've never hated women. I've never been abused either.
I've always felt that way since i can remember. I'm not saying either that I was born that way either. I think it is more complicated than what we are able to understand right now.
Maybe it's genetics, maybe it develops during the first years of childhood when the main features of one's personality are built.
But even if this is the case, you cannot change who you have become. Those features are part of the core of who you are.
If you are heterosexual and don't understand that, ask yourself if you could become gay and only gay.
"I've never seen anyone change from gay to straight ever. You know what I've spent my time doing?... Dealing with leaders in Ex-Gay Ministries who were having sex with the people who were coming to them for help." -Ivette Kantu Schneider, ex anti-gay leader. / Thank youi, Mrs Schneider for your courageous and enlightening testimony. BTW, do you have idea how many lives did you impacted negatively through thousands of anti-gay speeches you preached in the 90s ?
I'm glad I had the patients I did
Sounds more damaging than anything convincing them there is something wrong with them
Exactly lady preacher pay close attention to that verse of being "born unto sin" . This was due to Adam sinning which led to all being born unto sin.
So YES ppl are born this way!
1988 Oprah had a show on conversion therapy but the lesbian and gay people talking said their life was NOT the same hell as trans kids in those camps. I was a different kid. Biological intersex, raised female, shoved into a dress Southern baptist school and church Sunday morning and night. I got to skip wed because it was a workday for my christian dad and I struggled so much at school. My parents knew I was different and so did I but what I KNEW already biological intersex was don't talk about any of it to anyone including parents. There is some value in insisting the child refrain from sexual penetration until the age of 18 whether trans, intersex, gay, lesbian or straight and if it can't be stopped use protection. The best protection is abstinence boys, girls and others like me. The promiscuity of gay lifestyle rampant with multiple sexual partners could be a valid concern for a parent. Its pretty clear from straight men who have female multiple partners its chaos crossing and sharing emotions and beds with more than one person at a time but with evangelical Trump as a president very ok and celebrated now. No way to explain monogamy to a young gay boy if you are a Christian parent. Unlike me intersex shoved into a dress, a child turns to who they trust most and up until their disclosure, they trusted their parents. Biological intersex I didn't trust my parents because they let doctors probe. Lucky I didn't have major surgery as a baby, toddler, child or teen. Christians say trans kids should never have surgery? I say if there is the old Harry Benjamin Standard lookback from toddlerhood forward and a 7 year "documented" history of gender dysphoria prior to puberty, then puberty blockers and cross sex hormones but wait until 18 for surgery. Most detrans people had no waiting period but held other deep psychiatric problems not truly trans and no history since toddlerhood. I also say healthy biological intersex babies, toddlers and teens shouldn't have surgery either and the christian hypocrisy of that is insanity. Further hypocrisy for christians to claim its the parents right to send their kid to conversion therapy but claim parents supportive unconditional love of a true gender dysphoric child is child abuse and Texas was enforcing laws to remove those kids from their homes causing kids like Kai Shappley to flee TX with her mom. Christians ARE responsible for damage done to LGBTQI community while the New Testament doesn't have much to say on the subject. The Old Testament and Jewish law did. Muslim LGBTQI usually have family back in the Middle East to ship the kids back and dispose of them that way. Tribes like the massai featured in Matt Walsh "What is a woman" are so entrenched in gender roles when they come to live in the U.S. and mutilate their little girl's genitals they are usually held responsible for child abuse. Kudos to the activists exposing the hypocrisy and the legislative progress they have made. Its hard to live a good life damaged deeply by your parents. It happens to straight kids too...just not at the frequency of LGBTQI kids. Find that one partner who will stick with and by you. Live your life in America knowing this time even if Trump retakes the presidency again, human rights violations will be heard for history to record.
JESUS ITS GAY TO READ THE BIBEL and Religion eats the BRAIN
The Bible does not support homosexuality. What do you mean it’s gay?
Em...Eeem...em...eemm....driving me insane dude with the constant "em...eemm"!!!
Youth? He’s in his freaking 20’s. My doctor was in his 20’s. Being in your 20’s isn’t being a “youth”.
You have to go to medical school for 10 years to be a doctor
@@mayo0006Not in the UK.
He’s talking about youth like him as in when he was teenager there are still youth now being sent to these therapies
In youre 20's you still belong to youth.
20 years old is just a kid. You will realize it when you grow up 😂
I’m not gay..my boyfriend is
its not about telling people they HAVE to be straight, its about telling kids who still believe in santa claus that they ARE trans. its sickening and devilish. if its natural the child would come to this conclusion themselves without outside influence
Nobody is saying that besides doctors with special training on gender care
I came to the conclusion I should present as a eunuch back in the late 80's. I saw myself in the mirror and I wanted to preserve him. I knew I needed to stop my progression and did so mostly with protein and calorie restriction. If I had it to do again, I think that is one of the few ways forward if I couldn't except looking more like a man or an animal than a boy. Puberty blockers make one tall and even heavy especially without low dose estrogen and I didn't want that.
you have a point, but trans people, inclusive trans kids, needs very especial psycological attention( don't take i t bad, i am not saying that be trans is a mental sickness), but is necesary for the trans to make it a better understanding of his gender identity
Well this is happening no where go read a book
She is literally talking about herself.
The black pastor....are you a man, woman or trans because you are giving confusion
Jordan for the sake of anyone near you lose the word holder space "a-um" "a-uummm" ! It is horribly annoying!! A-ummmm, a-um, aaa-ummm..............
All gays can you answer one thing honestly?
You have had some sort gay encounter in your early days due to whatever reason, and then later you discovered that you have attraction towards same sex.?
Be honest please.
Yes
No. I grew up very sheltered with attentive parents, two siblings, grandparents in a little village. No sexual abuse or even physical or emotional abuse.
No, i've never experienced anything like that.
And trust me, when, at a young age, you realize that you are not like others, you search very hard to understand why you are not like anyone else. I wished i could say it came from something i've endured as a child but this is not the case. My childhood was normal except the fact that i had to navigate in a heterosexual world trying to avoid being bullied.
Same! Extremely sheltered. I have 1 brother and 1 sister. I have had an AMAZING childhood. No sexual abuse. And funny thing is, when I started walking (mind you I started walking EXTREMELY early) I would only walk on my tippy toes and would say I was wearing heels. I grew up with amazing parents. I am the only gay sibling and I truly TRILY believe I was totally born this way. And to be honest, people are people! Who we choose to love is NO ONE ELSES right to judge. However if they choose to judge, then judge on! I’m too busy loving everyone for exactly who they are, without restrictions. More people need to experience UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. Meaning love WITHOUT ANY CONDITIONS!!!!! 😢❤
No such thing as gay convertion Theopy. No way Omg 😱 get real 😢😢
Mathew looks soooo hot….. 😍♥️🔥
Those out of design are all crooked. You have to Love to be straight. Words in this world are all crooked and backward. Those who are able to Love, Live a Life where everyone is Straight (Love).
Bullshit
One who is straight, gay and trans can love. You are dehumanizing people. The great irony is Christians say they are persecuted yet hold the most power and privilege over anyone in the US and most of the West.
