JazzGa 14,654 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 "Gay conversion therapy is real-- I've done it!" = "I've shamed and browbeat insecure, vulnerable people until I was satisfied that they lied to me enough times, they started to believe the lie!"

Ronlop 6,882 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Thank god the prime minister of Israel condemned his words: "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to the remarks by the education minister and said that "these things are unacceptable to me and do not reflect the position of the government under my leadership." I spoke this evening with Rabbi Rafi Peretz, who clarified his remarks and emphasized that the Israeli education system will continue to accept all of Israel's children and children wherever they are, Difference of sexual orientation.

This kind of talk terrifies me and makes me wonder about our future in this messy world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
