Thousands of Canadians have rallied behind two petitions calling for a nationwide ban of conversion therapy. It's part of a wider global trend condemning the practice.
Peter Gajdics came out as gay to his family when he was 23. His staunchly Catholic parents rejected his homosexuality, and he left home.
================================================
'Pray away the Gay' has been debunked in most parts of the world. It does not achieve its objective of restoring a person to heterosexuality but instead drives them to see psychiatrists, have nervous breakdowns & often commit suicide. A lot of strictly religious people are all for it, unfortunately, and put their loved ones through Medieval exorcisms & worse, like electroshock therapy, with no expected results recorded.
