We've now entered the philosophical realm. CBT is fine when a willing participant is being treated for a (harmful) disorder. Homosexuality is not a disorder by current definitions nor all participants in "conversion therapy" willing. If we were willing to call homosexuality a disorder and treat it as such... where do we draw the line? Should left handed people get CBT? When we start using CBT to "correct" non-harmful differences we start replacing people with robots. We've reached much the same moral conundrum as genetic modifications in humans.
