Boy Erased


Just saw this excellent movie that looks inside the crime of conversion therapy. The whole cast is top notch and Lucas Hedges is outstanding . . .





Boy Erased tells the courageous story of Jared Eamons, the son of a Baptist pastor in a small American town, who must overcome the fallout of being outed to his parents. His parents struggle with reconciling their love for their son with their beliefs. Fearing a loss of family, friends, and community, Jared is pressured into attending a conversion therapy program. While there, Jared comes into conflict with its leader and begins his journey to finding his own voice and accepting his true self.

Surely a movie I'd love to see but not really in our Canadian point of view in our country where LGBT rights are in the core of our Constitution and Canadian Charter of Rights and Liberties,

The kind of «religious extremist» foolishness to be only seen in USA and extremist ultra religious countries as Muslims ones.

USA has a long road to go before really be the «Land of the Free» for ALL of its population.
