Star if you haven’t tuned in already to into Star on Fox, you need to get into it. It a very great show that shines a light on the harsh reality of music, but life itself. The casting is phenomenal with the likes of Queen Latifah, Tyrese, Lenny Kravtiz and Benjamin Bratt gracing this wonderful show. One of the most controversial subjects will be reaching a peak this Wednesday, Carlotta Brown ( Queen Latifah) will be seeking the guide of her pastor/lover ( Tyrese) to send her daughter Cotton ( Amiyah Scott) to under conversion therapy. The preview alone brought me to tears, check out the clip below.

So, what exactly is conversion therapy? Why is it so bad?
Conversion therapy is a set of practices that intend to change a person’s sexuality or gender identity to fit heterosexual or cisgender standards and expectations ― and it is usually religiously motivated.
Therapy practices can include methods such as talk therapy, electroshock therapy, treating LGBTQ identity as an addiction issue like drugs or alcohol, and more. While certain therapies, like talk therapy, are also legitimate forms of care for people who experience mental health problems, being gay is, of course, not a mental health disorder.
Make sure to tune in Wednesday 9:01/8:01c Feb 15
