We go to therapy to improve ourselves, to make our lives better, but the truth of the matter is that being born gay or straight is innate and there's certainly nothing wrong with it and nothing that needs to be fixed.

Introduction

Although the 21st century has seen unprecedented advances in LGBTQ+ rights, homophobia is still common, and practices like conversion therapy still occur throughout the U.S. today.

Conversion therapy tries to change someone's sexual orientation or gender identity away from the LGBTQ+ spectrum and has been discredited by the vast majority of the mental health profession.

VICE is a news organization focusing on politics and popular culture.

In its documentary Living Through Conversion Therapy, VICE explores why people seek conversion therapy and how harmful it can be.

Highlighting the work of activists campaigning against conversion therapy, the documentary shows the dangers of the practice and how we can all help fight it.
