S1E4 -Gay Conversion Therapy Survivor: Lou Reed
Lou Reed
Hello friends! Welcome to Episode 04 of the #StillHere Podcast!
Today, Amanda graces us with the story of conversion therapy survivor Lou Reed. This episode was recorded back in June of 2021 during Pride Month, and it was such an important story, we didn't want it to go by the wayside. In June this show was still in utero, so to speak. :) Nevertheless, Lou Reed's story is so very important, and it's an absolutely necessary tale of caution to all who still believe that conversion therapy is a necessary thing.
Also, if you believe conversion therapy is a necessary thing, fuck you. Seriously.
Thanks, and enjoy the show! <3
