For what it is worth, I have reached out to several friends that are members of the GSM/LGBTQ community and they have unanimously supported the broader language in the Harlos version. If that helps sway any that were in the fence.Though I believe with Mr Merced we are at 4 sponsors for that version right now anyway.John PhillipsLibertarian National Committee Region 6 RepresentativeCell 217-412-5973------ Original message------From: Alex Merced (LNC Vice Chair) via Lnc-businessDate: Fri, Apr 11, 2200 1:41 PMTo: lnc-business(a)hq.lp.org;Cc: Alex Merced (LNC Vice Chair);Subject:Re: [Lnc-business] Resolution Condemning Conversion TherapiesSome input from LP member, Trish Lynch ”As someone who is one of the people Jeff talked to about this issue, and a survivor of this "therapy" myself, I want to suggest a couple things. First of all, this is not an issue that specifically affects the LGBT community. The business of conversion therapy grew out of harmful, abusive and unethical practices that have taken place since the 70's in the name of the drug war. Then they expanded out into "curing" psychiatric disorders (including eating disorders, ADHD, post traumatic stress disorder (a girl who was abused by her brother was in KIDS/Straight for 13 years held against her will), autism, etc) - and also LGBT people. I personally was labeled as a "sexual compulsion", and spent nearly two years tortured against my will, starved, beaten, raped, humiliated, could not go to the bathroom by myself, read ANYTHING (even a milk carton), or use a blanket at night - even when it was COLD (I may masturbate if I did.) We could only speak when given permission. We were deprived of sleep, and kept suggestible. A little info here: http://thestraights.net/gop.htm- and this goes to a huge crux of the matter. These places have long been shielded and even supported by people in our government. Republicans and Democrats alike (in 2008, we tried to get a bill passed to just allow kids to talk to their parents without being monitored, which would have put a nail in their coffins.) We testified at GAO hearings, won a few lawsuits, but not until the LGBT community became a crux of this was there any movement, and it in my opinion is all virtue signalling. If I had my druthers, I'd widen the scope of this - ANY treatment that uses the above techniques which were given to The Seed (the first one of these places for drug use, but many never did drugs, and they never turned anyone away, no kid was ever "normal") by George HW Bush and is in the vein of brainwashing should ever be performed on ANY child. Ever. Also on the "conversion therapy" - here is some writing I did on the matter. https://goodmenproject.com/featured-content/reparative-therapy-is-bad-medic… There's also a movie they don't want to be distributed publicly I sent to Jeff last night that I can send individually to LNC members if asked. And the movie "Over the GW" which was about the place I was in specifically, years later when it all fell apart and the group of kids was small. Made by my very good friend Nick. I agree with Caryn Ann that the practice is harmful in and of itself particularly to LGBT kids who can't change their identity any more than I can swap a foot off my body, but this is a Liberty issue that has ties into forced psychiatry, the drug war, and everything that we as Libertarians stand against. It is such a large issue, and to see the LP address even a part of it has been my dream for the 23 years I have been a part of the LP.

Conflict of interest update
by Joe Bishop-Henchman 11 Apr '19

11 Apr '19

Hi all, TF's HR manager has notified me our list of summer interns, and one of the names on it is Aeris Stewart, and I've confirmed it's one and the same as the Aeris Stewart of our Youth Engagement Committee. She will be reporting to someone other than me, though that person reports to me. I've had no matters or anything with the Youth Engagement Committee, don't anticipate sending them any requests on anything, and we did not make this offer with any conditions or expectations relating to her LP work (or anything else). But out of an abundance of caution, I figure I should disclose this development.

Fwd: Proposal Language - Broaden the scope.
by Justin O'Donnell 11 Apr '19

11 Apr '19

I'm forwarding these suggestions for amending the resolution from Ms. Lynch to the Full list. --- Yours in Liberty, Justin O'Donnell LNC Region 8 Representative Chair- LPNH Platform Committee www.justinodonnell.me Renew your membership today at https://www.lp.org/wethepeople/?f=jod ! -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Proposal Language - Broaden the scope. Date: 2019-04-11 15:30 From: Siobhan Lynch <trish(a)lovinganarchy.com> To: Libertarian Party -Caryn Ann Harlos <caryn.ann.harlos(a)lp.org>, erin.adams(a)lp.org, justin.odonnell(a)lp.org, jeff.lyons(a)lp.org, john.phillips(a)lp.org So hey guys, I'm paying attention to this deeply, obviously, but I also represent a community that is over10,000 strong with this that has been subjected to these tortures, not just for conversion of gay kids or trans kids (which I was), but almost any issue that parents could try and brainwash their kids into stepford kids for. Drugs (many didn't actually do drugs), Behaviour issues (sometimes simply disobedience), eating disorders, kids with autism, etc. This needs to be broader than the LGBT community. It *needs* to be, and it IS the State both funding and enabling this (see the article I sent about how the GOP, and specifically Reagan and Bush supported these places right from their offices!), and the players involved with torturous conversion therapy are the same people. They just moved targets. Places like WWASP (owned by Robert Lichfield a GOP insider), Aspen Education (owned by Mitt Romney(!), and Straight Inc/KIDS/Kids Helping Kids/Pathways Family Center, etc (owned by Melvin Sembler - GOP insider and former ambassador to Italy and Australia under both Bushes) are in some kind of operation still today. The man who tortured me at KIDS has become a "priest" and runs a place that does this in Florida now, and was protected (and even had funding diverted to him) by Rick Scott for "drug using kids" but it also funded conversion therapy. This is a huge issue, and I completely invite people to have a similar discussion with me as what Jeff had. But, I have to say, if this is limited to conversion therapy, and is not a children's rights issue at it's core, that opposes the use of torturous "therapy" (might want to read Maia Szalavitz's "Help at Any Cost" - kids DIE in these places) altogether, then it seems to me it's just virtue signalling. I'm sorry, that's how I feel about it. All children that were sent to these places. some bny judges, some by their parents, and the funding came from the state (rarely did individual families have enough to pay for this, the cost was exorbitant), they deserve to know the LP is on their side. On a practical note, taking a stand on this means that I get to go to that community and find many more members for the LP, they all know and support the people who know, recognize, and fight for this never to happen again, and it would be huge to them that we did. Below is a crack at it, it's not perfect, needs a lot of editing but is meant to convey the broadness of this issue - this subject is difficult for me, and Caryn Ann has something likely much better in mind, but PLEASE make this happen at some level. Even if just a press release. But we need to take a stand on the natural rights of children. "WHEREAS, the Libertarian Party asserts that all individuals have the right to exercise sole dominion over their own lives, and have the right to live in whatever manner they choose, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the equal right of others to live in whatever manner they choose; WHEREAS, parents, or other guardians, have the right to raise their children according to their own standards and beliefs, provided that the rights of children to be free from abuse and neglect are also protected; WHEREAS, conversion therapy has been experimented in the past as a form of punishment for homosexuality, and there has been no evidence whatsoever that conversion therapy can successfully alter the gender identity or sexual orientation of unwilling participants; WHEREAS, this conversion therapy has it's roots in unethical treatment used since the 70's in issues such as drug use, psychiatric disorders, and learning disabilities, that describe humiliation, sleep deprivation, sexual abuse, starvation, and isolation as "treatment techniques" WHEREAS, children are often subjected to to this type of therapy against their will by loving parents whom are unaware that the methods used in conversion therapy are extremely forceful and abusive, and that any therapy similar to this has been shown to result in suicide attempts by 20% of these patients: a five-fold increase in risk of suicide attempts compared to other teens; THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that therapy modeled off these abusive institutions, protected and funded by the State, constitutes consumer fraud and forceful abuse, which the Libertarian Party opposes. FURTHER, BE IT RESOLVED, the Libertarian Party opposes subjecting unwilling participants through force or coercion, especially children, to any therapy that violates the non-aggression principle through any method that would be considered torture.
