The fuck are "LGBT rights" though? I hate it when people say this and aren't specific. I can't think of a single human right that "LGBT people" lack in Western society. At all. It's even more dubious that it supposedly affects all of the letters - sometimes people use "WE'RE LOSING LGBT RIGHTS" to mean "You can't change your legal sex easily anymore." As if that somehow affects me as a homosexual...?

One thing that comes to my mind is that most developed countries haven't banned conversion therapy.

Also LGB people in USA got the right just this year to not be fired for their sexuality (though I'd say this one is more of an issue with USA employment laws overall, not just with LGB people).

According to the article, the commission argues against same-sex marriage.

Why should conversion therapy be banned if people want to be straight? I’m pretty militantly gay but I also believe in human freedom. If I decide I want to be straight for any reason and I pay people to facilitate that, then why should it be banned? When did things change from leaving people alone and expanding human rights to demanding others think as commanded?

I find it rich that you are not permitted to attempt a conversion to heterosexuality but they will encourage you to cut your dick off. I’d rather have a wife, thanks.

Cutting your dick off is how conversion therapy works in Iran. Now suddenly gay men are straight women.

If you wanna have a wife, by all means go and find one. Wanna have straight sex? I'm sure there are many women out there.
