I Regretted Sending My Son to Conversion Therapy

from The Non-Prophets · host Atheist Community of Austin

In this heartfelt and painful segment, The Non-Prophets discuss a mother’s public reckoning with sending her son to conversion therapy. Connie Hoying, mother of Pentatonix singer Scott Hoying, recounts the regret and harm caused by trying to "pray the gay away" in her new memoir. The panel dives into the psychological damage of so-called “ex-gay therapy,” its religious justifications, and why it must be seen—and banned—as a form of torture.
