We Need To Talk About Gay Conversion Therapy (Level 1)

Recently, the US Supreme Court allowed gay conversion therapy. This therapy tries to change a person's sexual attraction. However, doctors and scientists say this therapy is a bad idea. First, it does not work. Studies show that it fails for almost everyone. Second, it is very dangerous. People who go to this therapy often feel sad, worried, and bad about themselves. Some even think about ending their lives. Why does it fail? Doctors explain that being gay is not a sickness. You cannot cure something that is not broken. In fact, same-sex behavior is very normal in nature. Scientists see it in hundreds of animals. Big medical groups do not support this therapy. If someone feels confused or sad about their feelings, they should see a normal doctor or therapist. A good therapist will listen and help without judging them.
