Gay Conversion Therapy Part 1: “I convinced myself I could ignore it.”

Conversion therapy is banned in Qld, Victoria and the ACT, but it’s still legal in NSW. It's in the process of being banned in WA, but still looks to be legal in the NT and SA too. In NSW, Independent MP Alex Greenwich plans to introduce an omnibus Equality Bill including a ban on conversion practices. In this two-part special we find out the impact conversions therapy can have on individuals and why legislation is so patchy across the country.

In this episode, we hear from Kim Kemmis - a man who trained to be a Christian minister before going through conversion therapy.
