minus-squareSpatchyIsOnline@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·3 months agoI’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you don’t know just how bad “conversation therapy” is. It often involves electric shocks, forced administration of drugs and a horrific amount of psychological abuse. It has also been known to involve burning with hot pokers, freezing, whipping, and water boarding. It is absolutely torture of LGBTQ+ she was advocating for. Her being murdered doesn’t suddenly change the fact she was an awful person using her position of power to try and inflict harm on others https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_therapy?wprov=sfla1
