    Imagine thinking you have authority over your children’s sexuality and gender. That would be kind of a pro-abortion argument tho.

      Why imagine? That’s exactly what they think. And abortion can be dismissed as going against God, whereas conversion therapy is just correcting their gay kids.

        Sure. And when the “”“conversion therapy”“” drives them to suicide, they just say “oh well Timmy was weak and gave in to sin so he committed the mortal sin of suicide and will go to Hell for eternity” and use it as a scare tactic for anyone else who is gay, so they’ll be motivated to hide who and what they really are and live a life that is a total lie.

      In the conservative household children do not have agency. They are simply the father’s progeny, and are expected to carry on their ideals and generally act in ways that please them.
