Straight People Get a Taste of Conversion Therapy: WATCH

Sean Mandell November 30, 2015 Leave a Comment

straight conversion therapy

What if homosexuality were the norm rather than heterosexuality and straight people were subjected to the brutal, backwards treatment known as conversion therapy to cure them of their straightness, a treatment reserved for gays in today’s society?

That’s the satiric premise of a new short from BuzzFeed. The video puts straight people through a “therapy session based on real stories from people who have gone through conversion therapy.”

Being told that your sexuality is a mental illness, an addiction, and the result of a childhood trauma (rather than just being the way you were born) is routine in conversion therapy and the straight subjects in this video get a taste of hearing that for the first time.

See how the straights react and whether they think conversion therapy is an effective tool to cure them of their straightness, below:
