Bowen Yang Discusses Conversion Therapy Experience and Healing

Bowen Yang, a prominent comedian and actor, has publicly discussed his experience with conversion therapy, a practice aimed at changing a person's sexual orientation or gender identity. Yang described the experience as a "painful" chapter in his adolescent years. He emphasized the importance of finding support and embracing self-acceptance in the healing process.

Conversion therapy has been widely discredited by medical and mental health organizations due to its lack of scientific evidence and potential for harm. Many LGBTQ+ advocates and allies are working to ban the practice. Yang's willingness to share his story helps to raise awareness about the dangers of conversion therapy and encourages others to seek help and support. He hopes that by sharing his personal journey, he can inspire others who have gone through similar experiences to find strength and healing.
