Sounds Like A Cult · The Cult of Conversion Therapy · 14 Jul 2026 podcast

So folks who have experienced

experienced conversion therapy and have had a negative experience with it, which is everyone, are able to seek out legal recourse for that.

Another little interesting thing that happened as well is that the Vatican, for the first time ever, has listened to the witness of LGBTQ Catholics on the topic of conversion therapy.

And so while our Supreme Court is arguing whether or not it's an issue of free speech and religious freedom,

The Vatican has said it is harmful.

It causes enduring harm to anyone who is experiencing it.

And so the Vatican is recognizing that this is this is not a good thing, which is a victory.

Definitely like Catholics have a long way to go on LGBTQ inclusion.

And I think, you know, what's at stake and what's endangered now is there are a lot of these conversion therapy groups involved.

that were hoping that the court would rule in this way, one in particular that's based in California.

And they have listed their manifesto online to say that now that they know that they have the Supreme Court's backing, they want to work to get homosexuality added back into the diagnostic manual to say it's a disorder.

They want states to start doing detransitioning services.

They want insurance to cover detransitioning services.

They've got a really wild agenda of things that they want to do.

And this is one of the largest conversion therapy organizations that's active today.

And they're represented by the same group that went with this Colorado therapist to the Supreme Court.

And so I fear that we are going to see this become a little bit more mainstream.

And so it's really incumbent on all of us to realize this is a clear and present danger to advocate and to really speak up and protect LGBTQ youth because they are the ones that are most vulnerable to this.

And research shows that youth who experience conversion therapy are twice as likely to attempt suicide.

And so these are real lives at stake.
