I'd be impressed if they really can convert Christian kids to being gay.

There are LGBTQ+ Christians, as well as denominations that are very welcoming of them. Lutherans and Episcopalians (Anglicans if you're outside the US) are very pro-LGBTQ+, and they also don't take a strong stance for or against abortion.

But conversion therapy definitely needs to be outlawed.

Yeah, it’s definitely not all churches, but it’s still enough of them to be a serious problem. My church didn’t have designated conversion classes, but all of the points in the video and then some came up in sermons on a regular basis. They have homophobic articles and videos too. This continuous source of negativity lead to stuff like depression and even suicide, so it’s a topic that’s close to my heart.

The most effective one seems to be converting Christian kids to atheism. The folks running these whacky denominations do all the work.
