The most damaging thing about conversion therapy was it said everything that is natural that felt natural to me... was sinful and that my desire to express myself as a person who wants to be in relationship with another human being — that because it was directed to someone of the same sex that I had to completely reorient and change everything about me to be acceptable to God.
As as people thought that they were doing the will of God through violence, well, suddenly there's a sanction for violence that has almost a universal adapter.
