The civil rights movement was greatly supported, in person and with speeches and actions, by clergy. That made what used to be the news. Made a big difference.

If it takes religious leaders to halt the march of humanity toward slaughter—then let the call go out: all priests, pastors, imams, rabbis, monks, and mystics—hear it now. Rise with courage. Your voice is needed to stop the carolling of souls into silence.

i am deeply troubled by the media’s reluctance to cover the rise of conversion therapy activism in the U.S. and hope that future coverage of this ruling focuses on how it could further popularize what some U.S. states and other countries consider to be cruel and inhumane treatments

it’s clear that the current federal government is laying the groundwork to amplify and promote the use of conversion therapy for trans people in the U.S.

they’ve been releasing HHS materials on this matter, largely sourced/based on contents previously produced by anti-trans TERF organizations

there is no robust basis of evidence that conversion therapy works or is remotely a solution

in fact overwhelming evidence shows that this is inhumane and cruel
