“In some extreme cases, therapists have used electric shock or nausea-inducing drugs to try to modify the behavior of gay people, according to media reports.”

“These non-scientific efforts have led in some cases to patients later committing suicide, as well as severe mental and physical anguish.”

No homosexual ever suffers severe mental and physical anguish as a naturally occurring byproduct of their condition. And none commit suicide. Right?
