Consistent with conversion therapy, physicians are telling young gays and lesbians that something is wrong with them, based on a regressive view of what it is to be male or female.

Not quite correct. Physicians might be part of the problem, but they are not (and never were) the core of the problem. For that, you need to look at social media (specifically, Reddit, Twitter, and Tumblr) and the validation engines run by an unholy alliance between the IdPol-obsessed progressive left and the porn-sick fetishists who took advantage of the cover provided by the homo- and bisexual orgs to bring their crap out of the shadows.

And then this choice bit of stupidity from the comments.

Right wing minority want to impose their views onto public policies to infringe on personal happiness

abortion issue is one example non-straight issue mentioned by this author is another

what should we do with these right wing minority ?

we outvote them, make them taste electoral defeats, and implement public policies that allow people to pursue their happiness their own manners, without fear of persecution from right wing people

And another one in the comments.

After

Senator Tuberville failed in his boycott of US generals promotions, due to his intension of imposing religious belief of evangelicals on US military (abortion issue) MAGA House GOP failed to stop US defense spending on social issues that irate evangelicals (abortion issue)

this opinion article is another example of White Christian Nationalism attempting to persecute fellow humans because they are different from the "norms" defined by White Christians

this author should have more tolerance for those who are unlike him; let non-straight people live their lives peacefully, don't try to persecute.

Both completely ignoring the fact the author of this piece is gay himself...
