BYU Electroshock Documentary | Gay Conversion Therapy Program 

And no one was arrested for this drug, electrical shock anti-gay treatment? Sounds like something the Taliban would do. Someone who suffered through this “treatment” should sue the Mormon church. How could people who profess the love of Christ attempt these tortures against their fellow creation? The Mormon church should and needs to be held accountable.

"I think for Mormonism, this is gonna be the most difficult issue that they're ever going to face. Seriously. They have painted themselves into a theological corner." - Rocky, 1996 Damn, this guy was a prophet.

If you’re LGBTQ at byu or in the church, you’re not alone. The leaders don’t want you in the church or the community, but you deserve a place where you are known and loved for who you are. There are people who will accept you for who you are. There is nothing wrong with you.

Chilling and frightening. It could have been me. Thank you for posting this time capsule of misguided and dangerous treatment.

I was put through put through electronic shock therapy. It was horrific. It did prove medically I am gay and was born gay. I went through 13 years of reparative therapy that did enormous damage. Imagine how I felt when I learned homosexuality was declassified as an illness 50 years ago in 2022. That period covered the entire 13 years. Masturbation is not mentioned in scripture anywhere. Its fine. I was a Baptist Pastor but I was told I was not welcome to even attend church. I sure wish I had known that as a teenager. I live in Queenland Australia and the electronic shock therapy was conducted in Sydney Australia. I can't watch this any longer. Its too horrific.

Growing up Mormon and even living in the BYU dorms for about 2 years, I can't say how much this disgusts me. Wow. I attended sex "addiction" programs up there for masturbating about once every three months or so trying to get on a mission (dodged a bullet there), but this is just insanity. Had no idea this ever took place. Disgusting.

Absolutely horrific description of abuse and torture. Shame on the LDS church.

Im a gay BYUI student ... wth ! Imma get out of here asap

I went through aversion therapy at byu and north star in 2014. At the time there was no shock therapy, but instead, psychology and medications were used to dissuade me from being gay.

This all adds one more nail in the coffin proving fraud, evil, and cult behavior. It’s so shameful that this was perpetuated on students attending “the lords university”. There’s no word in the English language that can describe how abhorrent this practice was!

I am filled with anger and sorrow

This is so terrible. When did this end at BYU? I was there 88-93. Thank you for coming forward and telling us your stories.

Could have been me. Back in the late 70's I had all the paperwork organized, acceptance, finances lined up. Just couldn't do it. Now I know why, the Spirit at some level warned me not to go, I would have been electrocuted as well. On the other hand, a dear friend that has since passed was threatened and blackmailed to inform his parents or to take the therapy at BYU, years later he still had severe burn scars on his body. I DO NOT care that folks say this was done in ignorance to help others. The therapy was evil, clandestine, essentially a secret combination that led to many suicides, impotence, horrible scarring. And to date, LDS, Inc. still largely denies this and offers no apologies for the damage done. Eleven years ago I quit the church to be a whole integrated gay man. Thinking I was honorable and safe I left to find happiness and peace. Instead, LDS, Inc. has come after me and my kind with an absolute hatred and vengeance to prevent rights or even take away existing rights. Is this the way of Christ's church? Hell no, Mormons do not really believe and practice their own doctrines to leave everyone to their own. The church and leaders are frauds and con men, not much better than Trump.

So sad this happened.

This is mortifying they did this other human beings.

This is BARBARIC!!!!so f-- CRUEL, 😢

The problem with this whole situation is NOT the technology or failure there of..the problem is the belief system which utilizes whatever system to accomplish testing the technology. New ideas of advancement are never wrong. It's how they are studied, implemented, and used. All these subjects volunteered to be case studies for this experiment. THIS is the tragedy!!! What Jew in 1940, Germany, would not have volunteered to sign up for experiments which changed their hair and eye color? Insidiousness at it's purest form...

That is horrible, I'm shocked OMG 💔😱😢 Do I think Heavenly Father would approve of something like this even then Heck No OMGDNS

OMG...I seriously started to bawl watching this!!! Jesus! How awful! So wrong on so many different levels!!!

This is so sad :'(

Wow.

I absolutely love The Lord and His Kingdom, but this is a dark stain on those men in authority who professed to love Jesus yet were pompously flaunting their high status in the club and who didn't care one bit for their brethren over whom they held power. It is clear that those "therapists" didn't care for their brethren or for the harm those moronic yet pernicious procedures caused.

"Originally produced in 1995" with people speaking in a front of an HD camera. Nice job! They must've used a time machine or something. Some people will believe anything just because it fits their narrative.

SICKENING - PATHETIC IGNORANCE.

Why just men?

These "treatments" were going on all over the country at this time, not just within the LDS Church....just to put it in perspective. No, it wasn't right but it happened. But if singling out the LDS Church to further your hate and to help you feel good, justified, happy, then go for it.

This is just so whacked…
