By the age of 15, she knew that being LGBTQ was seen by the Mormon church as a grievous sin against God.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI came out to my parents, and my mom was hysterical, but my dad didn\u2019t say anything,\u201d Cooper, a former HRC Youth Ambassador, said in an interview with HRC. \u201cThey told me to get out of the house, so I stayed with a friend for a <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">couple<\/a> weeks. From there I was sent to conversion therapy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cooper\u2019s journey of survival is the focus of a powerful upcoming <em>Lifetime <\/em>film called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mylifetime.com\/movies\/trapped-the-alex-cooper-story\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trapped: The Alex Cooper Story<\/a>.\u201d Based on her auto-biography, the film shines a light on the dangerous practice of so-called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrc.org\/resources\/the-lies-and-dangers-of-reparative-therapy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">conversion therapy<\/a>,\u201d which encompasses a range of discredited practices that attempt to change an individual\u2019s sexual orientation or gender identity or expression.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These practices are based on the false premise that being LGBTQ is a mental illness that needs to be \u201ccured\u201d &#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrc.org\/resources\/policy-and-position-statements-on-conversion-therapy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a theory that has been rejected by every major medical and mental health organization<\/a>, including the American Psychiatric Association, American Psychological Association and American Medical Association.<\/p>\n<p>Cooper was held captive by a Mormon <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">couple<\/a> for eight months, and was subjected to a range of attempts to change her sexual orientation, including verbal and physical abuse.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt first \u2018therapy\u2019 was me learning how to be the perfect wife,\u201d Cooper said. \u201cI learned how to cook for a family of eight. I got the kids ready for school in the morning and helped them with their homework when they were done with school.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>During the day, Cooper would clean the house and perform other chores she was told would foster \u201cmotherly instincts\u201d &#8212; but nothing changed how she felt inside.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen that wasn&#8217;t working I had to wear a backpack full of rocks to feel the physical burden of being <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a>,\u201d Cooper said. \u201cIt started out as a <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">couple<\/a> hours a day \u2014 and it still didn&#8217;t work. I felt the entire time that I was going to outsmart these people and somehow get out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The backpack weighed about 40 pounds and Cooper would have to wear it from sunrise until 4 a.m. the next day, facing a wall.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As time went on, the sense of isolation and hopelessness became overwhelming for Cooper. She attempted to escape, but failed &#8212; resulting in her captors ratcheting up their abuse.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn&#8217;t allowed to go to school. I couldn&#8217;t talk to my family,\u201d Cooper said. \u201cI went to the same church as my grandparents every Sunday, and they wouldn&#8217;t even look at me because that was a part of the program.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI eventually decided I just had to fake it because I wasn&#8217;t going to get out any other way,\u201d Cooper said. \u201cThey eventually let me go to school, and I got out the same month.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>There is no credible evidence that conversion therapy can change a person\u2019s sexual orientation or gender identity or expression.
