Or mutilate genitals! Carrying this moral relativism to its logical conclusion, some people even think it's fine to lock their children up in the basement and father generations of incestuous offspring with them. Who are we to judge?
I hope this reductio ad absurdem is a reminder that one shouldn't be too shy of imposing one's moral sensibilities on others - that is what they are for. My moral standard is that you shouldn't inflict unnecessary pain and suffering on people, bleeding heart liberal that I am. As such I am happy to condemn gay conversion therapy (along with genital mutilation and incestuous rape) as Bad (and forbidding eating beef as No Big Deal).
This really isn't a live-and-let-live situation, it's a child abuse situation.
