    6 'Boy Erased' Posters for LGBTQ Groups Fighting Conversion Therapy

    6 'Boy Erased' Posters for LGBTQ Groups Fighting Conversion Therapy

    6 Posters for LGBTQ Groups Fighting Conversion Therapy

    Boy Erased is more than just a movie. The film, inspired by the memoir by Garrard Conley of the same name, shines a spotlight on the dangers of conversion therapy, the discredited practice of trying to change a person's sexual orientation. At least 700,000 people have been subjected to conversion therapy in the U.S. alone, and only 15 states have banned the practice.

    In order to help end conversion therapy, Focus Features has produced a series of posters, debuting exclusively in The Advocate, which shine a light on LGBTQ organizations like the Trevor Project, GLAAD, the Human Rights Campaign, PFLAG, and the National Center for Lesbian Rights. These groups supported Boy Erased during pre-production and work tirelessly to educate the public about the practice's harm.

    See the posters below, and consider donating to these organizations to support their vital work. And don't miss Boy Erased, which is out Friday in select theaters.

    Human Rights Campaign

    Human Rights Campaign

    The Human Rights Campaign, the country's largest LGBTQ civil rights advocacy group, is also a leader in the fight against conversion therapy.

Learn more at HRC.org.

    The National Center for Lesbian Rights

    The National Center for Lesbian Rights

    The National Center for Lesbian Rights was the first LGBTQ legal advocacy group founded by women -- and it has been fighting for these civil rights since 1977.
