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

Religious communities, though, picked those ideals up and applied a spiritual layer to all of it.

And so it's not just a Christian thing.

There are conversion organizations within any major religious group that are active today, which is crazy.

There's over 1,300 conversion therapy practitioners active in 48 states right now.

And that number may actually be larger because so many of them exist underground in religious communities.

I was going to say, I don't know.

I'll look that up.

We need to move there.

Well, and the other thing to point out is there's conversion therapy bans in like 20-ish states right now.

But those bans do not mean that conversion therapy is not happening in that state.

It's just protecting LGBTQ youth from encountering conversion therapy in therapeutic settings.

Now, all of that is in danger now because of what's happened recently with Colorado and the Supreme Court.

So it's only going to continue to get more pervasive.

Yeah.

I mean, the one phrase that was very consistent over my time in conversion therapy was that the opposite of homosexuality isn't heterosexuality.

It's holiness.

So it's like doing the right thing.

It's like living how God.

So and that was kind of like masking the whole idea that like your sexuality might not change, but like you're still going to do what we say is the right way for you to live your life.

That was really big.
