Conversion Therapy
Oct. 16th, 2015 12:20 pmCan we just call "conversion therapy" for LGBT youth what it is? Child abuse.
I'm so sick of the varnished vernacular on things like this. Actually, I'm mostly envious of the "other side" consistently getting to own the vernacular and being really good at it. So I want to name some of the things myself.
Let's just call it what it is, man.
So instead of saying, "There's a push to end conversion therapy" which might get tepid support, we say, "there's a push to end this form of child abuse."
