Back in the 1950s when "homosexuality" was considered a disease there were attempts to cure it with what was called "operant conditioning".

When it didn't work, the experiments stopped. Not because they became reasonable about "homosexuality" but because a line of research was unsuccessful. How real science works.

It doesn't even require a person to be on our side to prohibit this scientifically disproven quackery. But they persist.

Good for Iowa.
