India's first openly gay prince, Prince Manvendra Singh Gohil, recently revealed how his parents sought medical help in order to change his sexuality.
Because of ethical considerations, there are no clinical trials comparing the effects of hormone therapy to conversion therapy on trans youths. But a set of recent studies tease out cause and effect.
Prince Manvendra Singh Gohil, India’s first openly gay prince, has accused his parents of attempting to force him to undergo brain surgery as a form of conversion therapy. Background: Gohil, the heir apparent to the throne of Rajpipla in the state of Gujarat, publicly came out in an interview with a local newspaper in 2006. At 41, Gohil became India’s — and the world’s — first openly gay prince and has since championed LGBTQ+ rights for the rest of the country.
Prince Manvendra Singh Gohil told Sky News that the discredited practice was still a widespread issue for gay people in India today.
Michigan authorities passed a new legislation that bans conversion therapy targeting LGBTQ youth as lawmakers argue the discredited practice is dangerous.
