Today I’ve got this Issue on my Nationstates (nationstates.net)
You Are Feeling Very Very Sleepy And Not At All Gay
A controversial new health center has opened in CAPITAL , offering what it terms “spiritual counseling for young people confused about sex and gender”. Critics charge that its practices amount to conversion therapy: trying to “cure” homosexuality by pressuring vulnerable teenagers.
I’ve encountered with many choices
1. “Homosexuality is not something that needs to be ‘cured’, nor is it a choice!” fumes gay rights activist Al Bush while burning a feather boa in protest. “We have fought so hard to be recognized as people with the same rights as everyone else, and now we have these quacks taking advantage of vulnerable young people with their religiously-inspired bigotry! Conversion therapy needs to be banned in NATIONSNAME and our rights protected!”
2. “No one is taking advantage of anyone,” counters therapist Gertie Delauter, a self-declared gay conversion success story, giving it to you straight. “We simply offer a service to families requesting our intervention. Everything is completely voluntary and above board. Don’t ban legitimate medical procedures just because you can’t accept that sexual orientation is a choice! Some of these young people come to us in such a state of misery and confusion, and we offer them solace and comfort. We’re doing the Almighty’s work, after all.”
3. “Compromise, compromise, compromise!” chants your Minister of Compromises and Trust Falls while organizing the next retreat for your cabinet. “If someone agrees to undergo so-called conversion therapy, then it’s no business of the state to interfere in that. However, it should only be available to consenting adults. We also shouldn’t allow parents to force their children to undergo these often humiliating therapies. So let’s keep the centers operating, but only for adults who want the services.”
