The premise for a law to criminalize what is being falsely labelled as “Conversion Therapy” was built on
the myth that gays are being forcibly confined and electroshocked against their will. This is the
big lie of the conversion therapy ban movement. Nobody gets electroshocked against their will in Canada for the treatment of unwanted same-sex attraction.
This has not happened for almost half a century. And even at that time, it was only done by a few misinformed doctors following the experimental medical fad of the time, used not only to treat homosexuality, but almost every other mental disorder. Forcibly confining and electroshocking people against their will, for any reason, is already illegal. We don’t need a new law for that.
However, for the past few years, the biased mainstream media, which is really just an arm of the gay lobby, has been pumping out fake stories, ad nauseum, from LGBT activists who claim they were electroshocked or otherwise “tortured”. The media often doesn’t even provide a person in their stories, they just assert that forcibly electroshocking gays in an attempt to convert them to heterosexual is a common part of therapy, and that it happens routinely in Canada. These stories are all fake. At the same time, the media refuses to tell the stories of people who successfully moved from homosexual to heterosexual, with the help of therapy.
When the media bothers to put forward a gay activist to give a teary testimony, the journalist never fact checks the story to ensure it actually happened. No dates are provided. No names of the doctors who allegedly electroshocked them are given. No police reports are produced. No proof whatsoever is provided to ensure that the incident truly happened. Why? Because it’s all fictitious. It’s a fiction designed to produce hatred in the general public for any attempt whatsoever to help people who voluntarily ask for help to move towards heterosexual attraction, or to feel at harmony with their birth sex. Yet the pro-LGBT media accepts these stories uncritically, as if they were fact.
Gay activists have a long history of lying about homophobic violence and “hate crimes” in order to achieve their political goals. Just look at TV actor, Jussie Smollet who staged a hate crime hoax by putting a noose around his own neck and saying he was beaten up by Trump supporters because he is gay and black. Or take the case of Nikki Joly, a well-known transgender activist from Jackson, Michigan, who police said burned down her own home in order to stage a fake hate crime that she could blame on homophobia.
And yet, despite the fact that electroshocking of gays no longer happens in Canada, and there is zero evidence that it does, the Trudeau government along with the media is still peddling the big lie that “conversion therapy” involves torturing LGBT in this manner against their will. In the face of this blatant propaganda, it becomes clear that this is just the excuse to provide cover for outlawing regular talk therapy of the kind that has helped thousands of same-sex attracted persons leave the gay lifestyle, and in many cases, to recover heterosexual attraction.
What’s practiced today, on a voluntary basis, is standard talk therapy of the kind pioneered by Sigmund Freud and which is used every day, in every psychologist’s office, to treat virtually every mental pathology that patients ask for help with. It is not new and not controversial.
Modern “conversion therapy” is nothing more than voluntary talk therapy with a licensed professional, or in some cases, voluntary spiritual guidance by a priest, pastor or Christian ministry. It is compassionate, not “cruel”. It is affirming of the patient’s goals in life, not “degrading”.
Members of Parliament must wake up and realize that they have been lied to by LGBT activists and the media who have dishonestly promoted the big lie that “conversion therapy” consists of electroshocking gays against their will.
