They had camps to cure gayness.

The problem isn’t the camps but the people who have the authority in them and how the treat people especially if the cure isn’t working.

Not everything can be cured by organic food, fresh air and labor.

BTW is the food the grow for the farms only or is selling it part of the plan?

If the latter then it’s about cheap labor

Yes and we used to kill witches for being... different.

That is to say, to any sane modern human, curing gayness is nothing like curing drug addiction.

We have to do something. Because whatever we've been doing for the past two decades has amounted to nothing.

And maybe that ends up being the answer, that there is nothing you can do. But I'll never insult someone for trying, no matter the method.

People are still killed for being different, they just aren’t called witches.

>But I'll never insult someone for trying, no matter the method.

No matter the method is a bad take, that’s how we got gruesome people doing gruesome experiments on people who need treatment.

And the camp thing is pretty old and they always end the same: abuse of power.

Perhaps, but I have family going through this and it just makes you so mad. I'd pay to send him to a camp where he's beat with a bullwhip every day if I knew it could cure him.

Perhaps it clouds my judgment a bit, but the alternative is just watching him die, which I'm not stoked about.

> if I knew it could cure him

Would you do the same if the chance of curing or killing him is 50:50?

Or if it’s uncertain that it works at all?

People use drugs in prisons, so I doubt the wellness farms are gonna be able to keep drugs out, much less help people.

The problem is the camps. It's forces framing certain traits as something that requires exiling people who show them.
