Ecuador will shut down "ex-gay" clinics
Ecuador’s government recently announced that it would shut down clinics where LGBT people were tortured to “cure” them of their homosexuality. From the Advocate:
AllOut.org co-founder Andre Bank credited “courageous LGBT and women’s rights activists in Ecuador, and supporters around the world who helped elevate this national scandal to global prominence.” AllOut and Change.org circulated petitions with a combined 178,000 signatures, demanding an end to so-called “ex-gay” clinical programs.
About damn time. Thank you to all who worked so hard on this.
