PRS#5: Healing homosexuality

Conversion therapy, also known as reparative therapy, reorientation therapy or gay cure therapy is pseudoscientific method, trying to change one’s sexual orientation. Based upon the faulty assumption that homosexuality is a mental disorder, it is recognized as ineffective, unethical and harmful, and it's banned in many countries. Even though, there is no evidence that sexual orientation can be changed, still there are organizations and individuals who attempt to change people’s sexual orientation, utilizing not only brainwashing quasi-therapy, but also humiliating behavioral methods such as electric shock, nausea-inducing drugs or chemical aversion treatment.
