The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to weigh in on the constitutionality of Colorado’s ban on “conversion therapy” – that is, the effort to “convert” someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity. That announcement came as part of a list of orders released on Monday morning from the justices’ private conference last week.

    This is bad. Coming for trans people was the first domino. The LGBTQ community needs more support than ever today. Please find a local LGBTQ mutual aid organization and volunteer or at the very least donate if you can. Help your fellow humans.

    Conversion therapy is a horrific process, here is what happened to someone who suffered through it:

    They were brought to the basement of a local church after school hours every weekday where they were subject to shock therapy treatments lasting for around an hour and aversion therapy sessions lasting for three hours, those that are unaware, aversion therapy sessions often are something like being drugged as to induce nausea and at the same time, presented with homosexual erotic imagery so that they would associate homosexuality with this nausea. This would be supplemented with occasional beatings.

    Conversion therapy is torture and MAGA supports it.
