TV judge slams homophobic father who sued his gay son for conversion therapy costs

Shortly after this discovery, Gregory spent $6,000 to send his son to conversion therapy, which Michael ended up running away from due to the toxic and cruel conditions at the establishment. Michael only agreed to attend conversion therapy out of fear that his parents would disown him and throw him out of the house. At first, Gregory tried to gaslight the situation into making the son responsible for not “fulfilling his promise” of attending conversion therapy, which Judge Williams quickly denounced in the viral clip. “You’ve gaslit this young man for far too long. He’s still a youth and he’s […]

Georgia educator says she was forced to resign after telling student she’s gay

A Georgia special education paraprofessional says she was pushed out of her job after acknowledging she is gay during a conversation with a fourth-grade student in a moment she describes as an attempt to challenge anti-LGBTQ+ remarks in real time.

He was saying he didn’t know any gay people because they are bad and stuff like that, so I […]

Boston University has paused enforcement of a policy that led to the removal of Pride flags from campus offices, stepping back after weeks of escalating protests and faculty warnings that the school was suppressing free expression. In a letter to the campus community on Monday, Boston University President Melissa Gilliam said the school would temporarily halt the removals and acknowledged the harm the policy had caused. “Our university and our policies exist within a larger social context, one that is dynamic and complex,” Gilliam wrote. “I have heard how difficult and painful that has been. I am deeply sorry.” Gilliam described the decision not as a […]

Immigration judge faces criticism for ‘atrocious’ probing of gay asylum seeker

,

Audio recorded from a hearing in New Mexico is raising serious concerns about how LGBTQ+ asylum claims are handled in US immigration courts. According to The Advocate, Immigration Judge Samuel Williams spent nearly three hours pressing a gay Iranian asylum seeker on intimate details of his same-sex relationship during a spring 2025 hearing, questions which advocates say reflect troubling misunderstandings about how LGBTQ+ people survive in countries where being out can be deadly. The man, who fled Iran fearing execution, described living in secrecy, maintaining a heterosexual marriage as cover while navigating a relationship with another man under constant threat. His attorney, Rebekah […]

I Live in Colorado. Conversion Therapy Destroyed My Life.

At 12 years old, upon returning home from school, I saw my dad sitting in the living room. I immediately knew something was wrong. “Come here,” he said, with my computer in his lap. He proceeded to show me the pictures of men kissing that he had found in my search history. “If you live this way, either you’re gonna kill yourself or someone’s going to go out and kill you for it,” he told me. “And neither of those things matter because God will never love you again.” I couldn’t say anything. In our world, my dad was the […]
