Okay so you can place a child in a home without their consent where they are abused for an aspect of themselves they cannot change. So just. Torturing queer children for fun. This is illegal. This is categorically against the human rights conventions of the UN that the US has signed. This is a crime against humanity. Conversion therapy basically flat out doubles the rate of death by suicide. Youve taken these children from their families and now sticking them into households where they will be hated and abused in every possible way. Trying to force a child to change their sexuality or gender is sexual abuse. The rate of death by suicide for victims of childhood sexual abuse is significantly higher.

This is torture. Thats torture. Thats intent to destroy. This is literally a law designed with the express intent of creating genocidal actions against queer people.
