I saw a Family Guy clip where Peter is taken to a Straight Camp after being injected with a Gay gene. Yes it was as stupid as it sounds.

I was curious and googled it thinking it had to just be some BS. I couldnt really tell if it was just some TV trope and/or meme or its actually real. Its not actually fucking real right? That would be insanity

They're real, mostly only in America though. That's not to say you'll never encounter one elsewhere but they're very much primarily an American thing.

fun facts: some like to use electrotherapy
some like to try to get them to fuck the opposite sex, which the institutions won't admit to, but that's exactly what they do
there's also good ol' fashioned corporal punishment

fundies are a fuckin' plague

You would think that the government would get involved in this but its not surprising that its being ignored

A good portion of the government supports them.

@DepreceV2 check out Pray Away on Netflix. Its a documentary that came out last year detailing accounts from people who used to be in the ex gay movement. Eye opening stuff

Ex-gay camps, Jesus camps, etc. have evolved a lot, and closed down a lot, over the past 20 years or so.

But so long as there are religions that prohibit homosexual relations (or that even deny homosexual orientation exists), such camps will exist.

Two movies about this very thing are The Miseducation of Cameron Post and Boy Erased

If you want a more lighthearted movie from a female point of view there's the film But I'm a Cheerleader.

but im a cheerleader is really good.
and yes it uses the electric shock thing where its revealed the characters are supposed to shock themselves whenever they have a sexual thought about someone of the same sex

anyway but im a cheerleader does show ex gay camps are wrong and bad but really downplays how horrific they are because its a romantic comedy overall

i still love the cheer scene at the end of the movie
