Wisconsin Republicans block 'conversion therapy' ban

[Pete Ross Junior]

2. Just an aside about the history conversion therapy.

Back in the 1950s when behaviorism was all the rage and homosexuality was officially considered a disease ...

Aversion therapy to "cure" homosexuality was tried and it didn't work.
Yes the scientists were all wrong in the first place, but when it didn't work, they stopped.

Nowadays it's a science versus fundamentalist thing, but unlike other such issues the supposedly fundamentalist position got a thorough disproving at the hands of honest people who wanted it to work. Throwing in a little prayer isn't going to fix it.
