A senior advisor to Donald Trump – Jenna Ellis – has tweeted her support for ‘conversion therapy’ in her latest attack on LGBT+ people.
Attorney and evangelical campaigner Ellis has joint roles as senior legal advisor to both the president and the Trump 2020 campaign.
Now she has retweeted an article that backs ‘conversion therapy’. The tweet she shared states: ‘No, sexual orientation is not immutable: ‘“One large, longitudinal study found that over 80% of same-sex-behaved adolescents became exclusively heterosexually behaved after six years.”’ Misleading claims In fact, psychological, psychiatric and medical bodies around the world agree that ‘therapy’ can’t change LGBT+ people’s gender identity or sexual orientation.
