The Sunday Sessions. Produced and directed by Richard Yeagley. Dickie Bruce Productions, 2018.
At the 2017 CSICon conference in Las Vegas, a well known skeptic psychologist asked me what my presentation would be about that weekend. I explained that I was scheduled to talk about the horrors of gay conversion therapy (GCT), and that I advocate for an outright ban of the practice. His response surprised me: “So, you think we should ban a therapy because you don’t like it? Shouldn’t adults be given the right to seek any therapy they want?” A bit thrown by his summary of the issue, I replied, “I think we should prevent people from furthering the notion that homosexuality is a disease, offering them false hope, and putting them at risk of depression and suicide.” He left the conversation noticeably unimpressed by my argument.
