Lesbian beaten and made to carry bags of rocks for 18 hours a day by Mormons

[cancel2 2022]

I remember people on here telling me how nice Mormons are, when Mitt Romney was running for the Presidency.

• Alex Cooper came out as gay in 2009 when she was 15, but was sent for 'conversion therapy' by her Mormon parents to 'make her straight'
• That 'therapy' involved beatings, verbal abuse and mental torture
• At one point she attempted suicide 'as a 16th birthday present to herself'
• Now she has written a book, revealing the dangers of the 'therapy'
• She is also fighting to get states to ban gay conversion therapy

Coming out can be a frightening time for any teenager, but for Alex Cooper the fallout was unimaginable - she was taken from her parents' home and put in the 'care' of a sadistic couple who tortured for eight months in order to 'make her straight'. It was in 2009 that Cooper, then just 15 years old, announced to her Mormon parents that she was gay - something their church teaches is immoral. Fearing for her soul, they sent her away from the family home in California to Utah, where she would undergo 'gay conversion therapy' with Mormon couple Tiana and Johnny Siale. And that's when her agony began.

Suffering: Alex Cooper (pictured) came out as gay to her Mormon parents at 15. They sent her to a couple who abused her mentally and physically in order to 'cure' her. Now 21, she has turned her experiences into a book

organized religion


believe whatever you want to believe


quit building religious scaffolding for sociopaths to climb to power

The Mormons are an insane cult.

all organized religion contains evil people


most of the flock is decent well meaning people


evil people USE the trust those people Have for authority



people who believe in a higher being are obviously more prone to trust authority without question



that is why they find the idea of an all knowing GOD comforting

So many bad people in this story. And those who practice such a thing as "gay conversion therapy" are truly despicable.

People can live however they want no one can stop them, but stop trying to force me to accept homosexuality as normal, that will not happen. Given an opportunity to talk to someone, I would explain my position based on what God's word say's. I would never start that conversation, but if asked I would give my opinion. Conversion to anything should not be forced. I wish homosexuals no harm, and have never bullied, or made fun of them. I think they made a choice to be who they are, that is my opinion, and shared by many, but it does not give me the right to try and make them change, they will or they won't.
