I think there are different levels of conversion therapy. There are some religious people who just promote celibacy, and I think that's fine as long as people don't think that they are going to hell if they choose to date or have sex - and thus it's not really a free choice. I think it's a lot more problematic when they try to turn gay people straight, and insist they date someone of the opposite sex to "cure" them. (I am speaking from experience as I did religious conversion therapy myself.)
