Hi :)

I’m a user on this instance and also mod of a community on this instance about atheistic/nonthesitic Satanism. We are not CoS, nor TST, we are called Global Order of Satan (link is in my profile). Many of our members across the world are lgbtqia+ , possibly even a majority but we don’t really keep formalised records so its hard to say for sure.

Our UK Order (of whom I am a member) are looking into starting a campaign into the religion based abuse of conversion therapy. Obviously we knew it happened but we weren’t aware things like exorcism were used and this clearly falls within our, uh, areas of interest!

This is a delicate subject and I have no wish to trigger anyone but if anyone wanted to share (anonymised) experiences they may have had with religion-based conversion ‘therapy’ (I keep using scarequotes as its clearly pseudoscience) via DM with me, they would be very helpful in giving us some background. If you are not happy with DMing then I am also on Matrix (links also in bio) or you can mail me leraje gosatan com - you can get free anonymous email forwarding here
