Have you ever wondered what conversion therapy really feels like from the inside? Hit follow now and get ready for one of the most powerful episodes Hot Air has ever done.

In our previous episode, we broke down the history of conversion therapy, the religious roots, and how LGBTQ+ identities have been controlled, erased, and manipulated through theology and practice. But today, we step aside and let survivors speak for themselves.

This full-length episode shares real excerpts, blog posts, memoir passages, essays, personal journals, and public writings from people who survived LGBTQ+ conversion therapy, religious abuse, and identity suppression. You’ll also hear stories from LGBTQ+ affirming clergy and progressive faith leaders who challenge the narrative and offer a different version of spirituality—one built on affirmation and liberation, not fear.

Through every page, every voice, and every lived experience, this episode shines a light on the courage it takes not only to survive but to reclaim your identity after systems meant to erase you. These are the raw, unedited truths behind the statistics and summaries.

What if everything you were taught about “fixing” queer people was a lie?
This deep-dive uncovers the disturbing history, tactics, and global impact of conversion therapy — one of the most harmful practices ever used against the LGBTQ+ community. Through survivor accounts, religious roots, psychological manipulation, political agendas, and modern-day versions that still exist under new names, this episode exposes how conversion therapy started, why it spread, and the damage it continues to cause worldwide.

From faith-based pressure to state-sanctioned abuse, from psychological coercion to “pray the gay away” camps, we break down how religion, fear, pseudoscience, and power collided to create a global machine of shame. It’s raw, it’s honest, and it’s the deepest, most comprehensive look at conversion therapy you’ll hear.

If you believe in truth, healing, justice, or just want to understand how this harmful system managed to survive for so long, this episode is for you.

How much damage can religion really do when it’s twisted, weaponized, and used to control identity?

In this full-length, no-holds-barred episode of HOT AIR, we dive into the dark history of faith-based manipulation and the very real harm done to LGBTQ+ people in the name of “God.” From historical doctrine and moral policing to first-person survivor stories, global accounts, memoirs, and psychological fallout, this episode unpacks how religion has been used as a tool of shame, fear, and control — and the lasting impact it’s had on individuals, families, and entire communities.

This is not an attack on personal faith. This is a reality check on how religion has been rewritten, misused, and turned into a weapon against queer identities for centuries.

Expect blunt truth, sarcasm, empathy, and a whole lot of HOT AIR as we explore:
• The origins of religious anti-LGBTQ beliefs
• Survivor testimonies from around the world
• Memoirs and real-life accounts from those who escaped
• The mental, emotional, and social damage left behind
• How communities are reclaiming faith and healing

If you care about LGBTQ rights, religious trauma, human rights, mental health, or untold stories — this is an episode you can’t skip.
