Yeah, except the one thing missing here was the dogpiling of religious guilt. Seriously, watch any “ex-gay” video on YouTube and “Jesus” and/or “God” is in every sentence. Cute video, though… really depressing that gay conversion therapy is still a thing in certain parts of America and some parts of the world. Being gay in high school is torture enough… at least that was my experience.
