Man in China sues clinic after attempted 'cure' for homosexuality

http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2014/08/29/chinese-man-sues-gay-cure-clinic-after-electric-shock-treatments/

A man in China is suing a clinic which used electroshock therapy to try to 'cure' him of being gay. He is hoping the pseudo-therapy will be banned, saving countless LGBT individuals from fear and pain.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Off-topic and senseless.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Aug 29, 2014, 05:34 AM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This is a very serious matter. The post is tasteless and offensive
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I don't think the alert is trivial, but I disagree with it. I get both sides. Alerter is very upset by this because they take LGBT rights very seriously, as do I. The poster is attempting to deal with the issue with humor but I don't think that humor is mean spirited or is meant to trivialize the issue, although that might be the effect to some extent.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Meh.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alert for what?????
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
