Hormones were injected to Jonathan’s body at conversion therapy
Jonathan, Jasmine and Miriam meet up to finally discuss the therapy. Jonathan reveals that they injected hormones into his body. The injections hurt his legs and it was difficult for him to move them. Conversion therapy centers think that they can “cure” homosexuality by injecting hormones into people.
Jonathan was shocked by a machine at conversion therapy
Jonathan was forced to take a lie detector test and a machine was used to shock him when they didn’t like his answers. We fight for animals who are shocked by machines yet conversion therapy centers are shocking people in an attempt to “fix” them.
