Velshi Banned Book Club: ‘Boy Erased’ author Garrard Conley on SCOTUS conversion therapy ruling

From MS NOW.

This week, the Supreme Court ruled against a Colorado law banning “conversion therapy” for LGBTQ youth. Garrard Conley’s 2016 award-winning memoir “Boy Erased” shares his experience being forced into conversion therapy. Conley says that therapists “have a duty to walk people through options for their lives, not just tell them that there’s only one option.” He adds that “it’s a dangerous idea” to say LGBTQ people are “a subject to be debated.”
