I just want to drop in and remind everyone that "conversion therapy" is just a fancy way to say "child torture".

Hey now, in some cases it also involves a little rape, too.
It's not therapy and it doesn't convert anyone. They should call it denial torture.
Religion?
Concentration camps
A sincerely held belief in child abuse is quite the loophole.

It’s against my religion to pay taxes
They need conversion therapy to be real because of their whole groomer narrative. "If proximity to LGBTQ+ can make you LGBTQ+ then it can be undone." So I argue we should make straight conversion camps in all areas where conversion therapy is/becomes legal. But it'll just be a normal camp with supportive trained mental health staff to help those traumatized by the other conversion therapies.
That would probably have a higher success rate
It’d be a shame if their inbox was hammered with homosexual provocation:

Surely someone here can afford to send them a few subscriptions to certain magazines...
They already have them.
Yeah, but they keep them hidden under their mattresses. I want them pulling out Big Stud Magazine from their mailbox when they have a senator visiting.
What a shame that would be.
Why don't we re-open https://Elan.school while we're at it?
Oh no worries, there are still plenty of similar places operating. They don't have to reopen that one (though they'd probably love to).
Meanwhile Christian camps never even stopped "converting", people.
The number of times I heard, "come to me, if you have urges." was disgusting.
