This type of therapy often involves withholding of food, electronics and other things kids like until they start...

..."acting straight".
Some kids in gay conversion therapy are electrically shocked, restrained or otherwise physically assaulted in order to turn them away from "acting gay".
46% of those who were in gay conversion therapy as kids develop PTSD from it.
