One man, a poor student at the time, gave twenty percent of his income to his sessions — on the understanding that paying for your recovery makes you more invested in it.
That is not a ministry. That is a subscription with a shame gate.

A ministry in 58 countries. 31 US states. $70 a year to be told you may exist so long as you never touch anyone.

They didn't stop. They stopped saying the word.
When did a business last get to rename the injury and keep billing for it?

CW: CW: Conversion practices, suicide statistics
Founded 2006. Sailed straight through California's ban and straight through Exodus International's 2013 apology, and spent a chunk of this year touring six countries in Africa.
A researcher who studies these practices named the reason for the costume out loud: it's optics.
Everyone knows what conversion therapy is called now, and nobody wants the label.

CW: CW: Conversion practices, suicide statistics
A ministry operating in 58 countries and at least 31 US states has never once promised to make anybody straight. That's the innovation. It promises you may remain exactly who you are, provided you never touch another person as long as you live, and that the forbidding is love.
Membership runs $70 a year. Couples, $100. A church leader course, $360. #TransRights #QueerNews #LGBTQ #ConversionTherapy #Religion #Journalism #Queer #Nonbinary #uspol

A dangerous, ideology-driven, pseudoscientific alternative-medicine version of therapy is being practiced by those critical of the so-called “gender movement” and #transgender people. It’s called “exploratory therapy,” which in a nutshell is thinly repackaged conversion therapy.

A boy had to give up his entire family because the system offered him no other way out of the harm.
The minor can — must — flee, because he cannot sue.

The Hague, 75–57: the Netherlands just made conversion therapy a crime. https://twp.ai/4hrZrZ COC Netherlands fought fifteen years to land it. The world is not turning back toward the bigots. Amsterdam just said so out loud. #LGBTQ #QueerNews #TransRights #ConversionTherapy #Pride

A senate chamber in The Hague.
The Netherlands just made conversion therapy a crime — up to two years, fines near €27,500, lost licenses for the therapists. COC Netherlands fought close to fifteen years alongside survivors to land it. The American right wants you to believe the world is turning back toward them.

We all know what they mean, when they claim that their protests and B|ble verses "don't come from a place of hate".
They "love" us, sure, as long as we admit we're disgusting and agree to repent and "pray the gay away".
Taken from the same page as Chip & Joanna Gaines, who issued a letter saying they "loved" everyone, just as long as we submit to #ConversionTherapy, was the bit they omitted.

Wonder if the cistem is willing and/or capable of enforcing the new conversion therapy ban. The burden of proof required for accountability here makes similar laws unenforceable.
Otherwise we’ll end up with a similar level of inaction as with discrimination, where it’s both illegal and punishable, yet enforcement is effectively zero as the burden of proof is impossible to reach in most cases.
So it’s unclear exactly how medical professionals already openly discriminating against targeted minorities, on a regular basis, is supposed to now suddenly be held accountable for something new.
We still have a zero-fault healthcare system with shortages that make all but the most vile and sloppy & dumb predators walk free.

Sweden will ban conversion therapy from July 1st with up to 4 years in prison for anyone violating this.
Here I have to say well done to the Liberal Equalities spokesperson for pushing this through.
Another step towards equality!

Pre-bunk: "The EU conversion-therapy ban criminalises parental conversations."
It doesn't. Conversion-therapy bans target professional and commercial practice. Seven EU member states already operate them. Number of parents prosecuted: zero.
The technique is scope inflation. Name it before it lands.
