At 17, Adam Trimmer came out as gay to his mother, who sent him to conversion therapy with a pastor who used the "junk science" practice to try to change his sexuality. Adam attempted suicide. He survived & now advocates for an end to the abusive practice. bit.ly/2QH5RN2
If you are having thoughts of suicide, seek help. Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline @800273TALK suicidepreventionlifeline.org
Conversion therapy is based on junk science that has been discredited by virtually all major American medical and psychiatric organizations. It demeans, defames and defrauds human beings, typically at their most vulnerable moments. splcenter.org/20160525/quack…
