    Imagine thinking you have authority over your children’s sexuality and gender. That would be kind of a pro-abortion argument tho.

      Why imagine? That’s exactly what they think. And abortion can be dismissed as going against God, whereas conversion therapy is just correcting their gay kids.

      In the conservative household children do not have agency. They are simply the father’s progeny, and are expected to carry on their ideals and generally act in ways that please them.
