S2E7 - My Q Dad Sent Me To Conversion Therapy

The Q-Dropped Podcast

In this episode, Luan talks to us about his harrowing upbringing by a father who was so wrapped up in conspiracy theories and later, QAnon, that he neglected his childrens’ medical needs and forced our guest to go to conversion therapy after he came out as gay.

Trigger warnings: homophobia, child abuse, neglect, transphobia and racism.
