Writing on the Internet is funny. You can cook up a post in a couple hours and watch it generate national controversy, then spend a month reporting an actual edited piece (on a far more controversial subject) and watch it barely splash the surface before sinking into Google-able obscurity.
Such was the case with this piece I wrote for Discover, about the history of “sexual orientation change efforts” in the U.S. Basically, we used to do inhumane, horrible things to people to “stop them” from being gay. Now we just tell them they can “cure” their sexual orientation with a bunch of quack wannabe-therapy. Good times.
