Ending Conversion Therapy with Sam Brinton

In this fifth episode of Sex Ed with DB, Season 4, DB has Sam Brinton on to talk about conversion therapy. Sam is one of the world's leading advocates for LGBTQ youth. They are the founder of the 50 Bills 50 States campaign at The Trevor Project to end the dangerous and discredited practice of conversion therapy, first in the United States and then around the globe. As a survivor of conversion therapy, Sam has spearheaded efforts to submit legislation and promote public education in the hopes of ending the practice on minors. They have co-chaired the National Center for Lesbian Rights #BornPerfect Advisory Committee on conversion therapy and have spoken before the United Nations and Congress as well as testified on legislation to protect LGBTQ youth across the country. Sam uses they, them, or theirs as their pronouns as a genderfluid person. --- Sex Ed with DB, Season 4 Team: Creator, Co-Producer, Sound Engineer, and Host: Danielle Bezalel (DB) Co-Producer and Communications Lead: Cathren Cohen Graphic Illustrator: Andrea Forgacs Social Media Intern: Leslie Lopez Website: Alex Morton  --- Sex Ed with DB, Season 4 is Sponsored by: Clone-A-Willy, Aisle, FemmeFunn, Sweet Vibrations, ioba.toys, and Smile Makers Collection --- Love Sex Ed with DB?
