    I realise this is probably a joke post, but I thought the whole premise of the anti-pray-the-gay-away argument (which I don’t agree with btw, just to be clear) was that sexuality is fixed not chosen. If you can “make” non-LGBT the minority then that suggests sexuality can be manipulated and thus validates the PTGA position.

      Even if its not fixed or somehow we find a way to change it that isn’t abusive in other ways, it would still be wrong for parents to make that decision for others imo. People deserve more bodily autonomy than that. The problem with PTGA is that it presupposes that being gay is wrong and that’s the primary problem with it. Whether people can choose or not is irrelevant imo. There’s also the secondary problem that the methods used to try to change children are often abusive in other way, but that’s not inherent to it.
