Watch: Documentary reveals Chinese hospitals offering gay 'cure' therapy

The British TV Channel 4 reports on doctors prescribing drugs and electric shocks to gay men and lesbians in Beijing, despite homosexuality's declassification as a mental illness in 2001.

Meet the Chinese LGBT activists bravely uncovering dangerous, unproven gay conversion treatments.

Chinese LGBT activist John bravely goes undercover to report on 'conversion clinics' who claim they can 'cure' gay people. Almost fifteen years after the Chinese Psychiatric Association stopped classifying homosexuality as a mental illness, unproven treatments, including electric shock therapy, are still being prescribed.

John says that according to Confucius, 'having children is the most important thing a person can do for their parents' and, that it is often parents who submit their children for these unproven conversion treatments.
