**Megan’s parents send her to a conversion camp in the hopes of making her “straight” again and immediately disown her when they find out that she is staying a lesbian. They receive no repercussions for their treatment of Megan other than the assurance that their plans have backfired.

** Mary Brown gets away with not only ruining a lot of children’s lives by forcing them through conversion but also making homophobic protests towards other gay people and having her students picket and pelt rocks at others.
