Shame-sex attraction : survivors' stories of conversion therapy
Lucas F. W. Wilson (Editor), Garrard Conley
"We are survivors. We were subjected to dehumanizing practices by people who sought our erasure. We believe telling our stories is both powerful and political. This edited collection brings together the experiences of those who have been subjected to queer conversion therapy. It is an effort to expose conversion practices for what they are -- pseudoscientific, bogus, ineffective, and wildly traumatic -- and to recognize and listen to survivors. With contributions from Gregory Elsasser-Chavez, Chaim J. Levin, Lexie Bean, Syre Klenke, and many more, this is an attempt to ensure that what happened within these pages cannot -- and will not -- happen to future generations." -- Back cover
