Rating: R Stars: Joe Bird, Stacy Clausen, Jeremy Blewitt, Mia Wasikowska, Ewen Leslie, Davida McKenzie, Nicholas Hope Writer: Adrian Chiarella Director: Adrian Chiarella Distributor: Neon Release Date: June 19, 2026 “Conversion therapy,” for those thankfully unacquainted with the term and/or process, is designed to make LGBTQ people, largely (but not always) teens, lose their innate sexuality and become heterosexual. It is still legal in twenty-seven U.S. states. This “therapy” has been denounced by the American Psychiatric Association and has resulted in suicides and nervous breakdowns, but no provable “conversions.” The phrase “conversion therapy” is never heard in LEVITICUS.
