Conversion therapy is torture, plain and simple. It was outlawed for a reason.
To be clear, ADF cooked up a case with fake facts, distorted medical research and fabricated harms to be able to gain the constitutional right to torture LGBTQ children.
That's what they want to do, to torture LGBTQ youth.

Went up on the (2nd story) roof to seal a pipe-to-nowhere that was leaking into my studio when it rained heavily. It was terrifying. Had a moment where I honestly asked myself, “Am I going to have to call the fire dept to get down?” Got down ok, but took a few moments to gather myself.

While we are all gawking at Trump's Epstein fit, this is the stuff he's doing while we're distracted: Ordering concentration camps for the homeless, mentally ill and "sexually dangerous" - by which he means the LGBTQ+ population, trans first and then the rest of us.
This is an executive order that lays the groundwork for sending homeless people and people with mental illness to concentration camps to be "civilly committed." It was never going to stop with immigrants.
This is horrifying beyond words.
