Gay Conversion Therapy: Lou Reed

 


Happy Pride Week! It's time to revisit this very important episode about Lou Reed, a survivor of gay conversion therapy. Lou Reed's story is so very important, and it's an absolutely necessary tale of caution to all who still believe that conversion therapy is necessary and will turn someone "straight"--it won't.

Also, if you believe conversion therapy is a necessary thing, fuck you. Seriously.
