> Conversion Therapy seems a lot like violence to me... It doesn't to me. Who is right?

  It has severe consequences for the victim. While it's not physical violence, it does far more harm than a punch.

  Are you really that confident that LGBT is not simply a less-common, totally healthy form of the human experience?

  The victims are right. Conversation Therapy is associated with increased suicide risks[1]. People are literally killing themselves as a result of going through that experience. I suggest you think more about it. You are free to have your own definition of "violence", so let's instead settle on the more specific "psychological abuse"[2] and agree that it's not something we, as a society, should accept.
