Conversion therapy is abuse. I would support classifying it as such and banning the practice outright. I think the abuse classification is important because it’s the first step in being able to hold perpetrators accountable for the pain they inflict on the LGBTQ community.

'It's like dopamine.' Why lonely young men are turning to influencers like Andrew Tate
USA TODAY extremism reporter Will Carless explores why young men spend hours online following Andrew Tate and other influencers in the so-called “Manosphere.” These influencers mix fitness, lifestyle and self-improvement advice with toxic misogyny and anti-feminist rhetoric. Fans say the videos motivate them and offer guidance on relationships and discipline, while experts warn the content can expose vulnerable youth to extremist ideas. Carless visits an MMA gym in Fontana, California, and talks with peers and experts to examine how Tate’s videos resonate with young men and the broader appeal of the Manosphere. Carless also talks to author and coach Jason Wilson, who leads an academy in Detroit, Michigan that teaches young men positive masculinity. “There’s no freedom in the facade,” he says. Through workshops and one-on-one coaching, Wilson aims to show that true strength comes from respect, empathy, accountability and self-control – not aggression or fear.
