In March, a bill that would have made conversion therapy for minors illegal looked to have a clear path to passage in the state Legislature. Long after that classification was removed, religious leaders have encouraged believers to seek conversion therapy, as if to say that homosexuality is some kind of choice.Ĭonversion therapy has been weighing heavily this year on this place, this community: the Utah LGBTQ community. It’s a relic of the early 1900s, when homosexuality was classified by medical professionals as a psychiatric disorder. Researchers say some 700,000 Americans have undergone conversion therapy and that people who endure it are five times as likely to attempt suicide. “Evil” is really just one of many names the world has branded David Matheson: He’s also been called a con man, a torturer, a criminal, a perpetrator of “crimes against humanity,” and a “piece of shit.” But he is, perhaps, best-known as the “intellectual godfather” of conversion therapy: a pseudoscientific, often religiously inspired attempt to convert people away from same-sex attractions. It’s Pride, after all, and doesn’t he have a lot to be proud of? And, to be perfectly honest, he doesn’t particularly want to be at Pride, but people said he should give it a shot. So he maneuvers through a crowd of rainbow socks and rainbow capes and rainbow tutus and T-shirts that say SATAN IS MY DADDY but never allows himself to be sucked up by all the glittery energy. He walks inside the gates of the Utah Pride Festival, just like everyone else, and disappears into the crowd.Įxcept, of course, David Matheson wouldn’t say he’s like everyone else here. He pays the entry fee in cash, extends a wrist for a handstamp. No one notices Evil walking among them, wearing a neatly ironed navy blue oxford shirt, white denim shorts, and black Wayfarers.
