Religious groups advocate ‘conversion therapy’ for homosexuals

Even in modern Switzerland, homosexuals are being bullied into undergoing conversion therapies to change their sexual compass. 

Thomas Lauber grew up in a strict Swiss religious community and was forced to deny his sexual orientation. He took part in seminars in which he was told that his homosexuality was a demon, from which he must free himself. He has since come out as gay, and is president of the Fribourg LGBT group, SarigaiExternal link. 

In Geneva, also, there is a self-help group called Le LabExternal link, which helps people reconcile their homosexuality with their spirituality. (RTS/swissinfo.ch)
