Conversion Therapy in Indonesia: Arisdo's Story
In our fifth episode, Arisdo Gonzalez, an LGBTIQ youth activist from Pelangi Nusantara, talks about his experience of conversion therapy as a person of faith: “I love to say that conversion therapy doesn’t work for the LGBTIQ community. We don't need to be changed because from what I learned…God loves us so much. God shows that God loves everyone. You don't need to be changed. You were born to be gay and just proud to be gay. You don't need to be heterosexual or cisgender. And for the parents or for the churches who still do conversion therapy, please stop that. It's really bad for us. It doesn't work for us.” Listen to their full story in the video below, and stay tuned for more stories of conversion therapy in Asia.
