    I really pity people that think they have to change themselves to fit what others want them to be. The social pressure some people are under...

    How is what two people do consensually in their bedroom worse than these "cures"?

    The most horrible part is the price tag. That's about a typical worker's annual salary in China!

    Can't say I'm surprised, with all the LGBT-phobia in this world. Surprised it didn't happen in the U.S. though. Though I'm sure it happens. Poor people! Why? :/

    I can't wait until humanity realizes how ridiculous this is. Until then, I will shake my head in shame. :dry:

    ... and that doesn't happen just in China. There are places in the US, run by religious crazies, that do stuff almost as bad.

    It doesn't work.

    There are people who claim they are cured, but by time they are older they are the bitter old men protesting against LGBT rights and then its found out they have an account on a gay hook up sight.

    All these 'curee' accomplish is push people back into the closet, into depression and opression, and for many it will lead to death by the hand of the doctors or themselves.

    Its why there is a huge movement to end them
