The evils of "curing" gays

I viewed a clip from CNN today about a horrific psychological experiment carried out on a child in the US. Yes, a child! This child became a desperately unhappy adult, who killed himself at the age of 38. And the man who carried out this experiment is still hailed as an expert and walks this earth a free man. This "expert" was "curing" a young child of 5 of his "feminine" behaviour, "saving him" from becoming a gay adult. The child became a gay adult. The "expert" was more recently caught returning from holiday with a gay escort. Didn't work for him, did it, or did he know it would only do him harm? If he did, that never stopped him from publishing endless articles and books about his "successful" treatment, spreading the word. And every one of the numerous Ex-Gay organisations offering "reparative" treatment, every charlatan therapist offering a "cure" from homosexuality to the desperately unhappy people who approaches him/her, every repressive regime in a homophobic country that believes in "scientific" approaches to "curing" various manifestations of LGBT behaviour, quotes his work. This "expert" is just one of too many to count. They all quote each other in a pyramid of unethical, unscientific, biased, bogus, pseudo research, lending their ignorant efforts an air of respectability by doing so. And the victims end up like this poor boy.

To me this is plain evil, not ignorance. Ignorance requires not being able to grasp the truth, not having the opportunity of exposure to expert and learned opinion. This is being deliberately and arrogantly deaf to the voices of the people you are supposedly trying to help, turning a blind eye to the terrible abuse of a young child. They've destroyed a life and a family. I have been fighting this evil for several years now, in every way possible. This clip is the first of three. I will publish the other two as they appear. I will also publish a link to my article on the lie that is "reparative" treatment in a future blog.
