About this episode
What is conversion therapy? Thanks for asking! In the midst of the scandal surrounding pedocriminality within the Catholic Church, conversion therapies have been voted to be banned in France on October 5, 2021. Conversion therapy, also known as homotherapy, is a pseudoscientific practice that seeks to convert homosexuals to heterosexuality, or at least encourage them to be abstinent. Largely pushed by religious groups, this kind of therapy is still growing in Europe and America. The practices are not only ineffective, but can also be dangerous. OK so it’s mainly a thing in religious or conservative countries, is it? So does it actually work? Can you change someone’s sexual orientation? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
