Gay Conversion Therapy

[The Valkyrie]

I just watched the movie, "But I'm a Cheerleader". I had forgotten how much I liked it. Here's a description:

Wikipedia:

But I'm a Cheerleader is a 1999 satirical romantic comedy film directed by Jamie Babbit and written by Brian Wayne Peterson. Natasha Lyonne stars as Megan Bloomfield, an apparently happy heterosexual high school cheerleader. However, her friends and family are convinced that she is a homosexual and arrange an intervention, sending her to a residential inpatient conversion therapy camp to cure her lesbianism. There Megan soon realizes that she is indeed a lesbian and, despite the therapy, gradually comes to embrace her sexual orientation.

Does anyone here have any experience in or around this type of "therapy"? I can only assume it's dangerous, but I would like to hear an experienced person's take.

Myself, no.

I did however read this yesterday:

Thanks for the movie reference. I'll make sure I watch it.
