Almost 700,000 adults in America have received some kind of therapy designed to change their same-sex attraction. Gay conversion or reparative therapy is currently banned in 14 states and the District of Columbia for people under 18. An openly gay California lawmaker decided to take this law a step further.
NBC Left Field has crafted this short documentary about conversion therapy with support from Focus Features, who released the movie Boy Erased, starring Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe, about one family’s struggle with the issue.
