Human Rights Petition: Ecuador Minister of Health: Close fake "clinics" that torture LGBT in order to "cure" them | Change.org

And yes, I've signed it.

I've signed it, although I didn't see my name pop up there with the other people who have signed the petition. Should be in the growing list somewhere, I hope.

And yes, they call it "treatment centers", but that's not really what goes on there. If the other centers have been closed down, why are those 200 odd other centers still open? Reminds me of pop-up windows... instant "treatment centers". Wonder what these wardens, nurses and guards would say when they've been subjected to the same kind of 'treatment' they've been giving their patients...?
