India: incest between young gay man and mother recommended to "cure" homosexuality

Story here

In a shocking discovery, a study in India by the LGBT Collective found that acts of incest were recommended and carried out, between gay people and their cousins or even parents, in the belief that this would "cure" gay people of homosexuality. At least one case involved a boy forced to have sex with his mother.

but that's what reputable psychiatrists used to use to "cure" it here.

Since nothing worked, no matter how drastic, they finally came to the conclusion that they were trying to fix something that was never broke.

I suggest to the Indians that they follow suit.
