    In a statement posted on X Saturday night, Beshear said, "conversion therapy is torture, and that’s why I signed an executive order banning it in Kentucky.

    “I’m going to keep fighting for what’s right,” the governor’s statement concluded. “And that’s loving thy neighbor.”

      God they love torture and suffering, the ones pushing for conversion torture.

      Everyone needs to stop calling anything a religious service provider or old-school rando hired off the street can sloppily deliver as “therapy”

        It literally is torture.

        For those that don’t understand, here is a example of what happens:

        They are brought to the basement of a local church after school hours every weekday where they are 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 those ‘treated’ would associate homosexuality with this nausea. This would be supplemented with occasional beatings.
