disregarded in favor of chemically castrating him after he pled guilty to the charge.

Huh. Fucking awful, but like, why chemically castrate someone who's gay? They're unlikely to have kids (unless they're bi/pan/etc.), so like, why? On the off chance they did decide to have a kid, who would that affect. Were they afraid of spreading "The Gay™️" to their children via DNA? If anything they should've prayed and hoped his mental genius would pass onto his kids.

Fucking atrocious...

I'm not an expert, but I imagine it also fucks your sexdrive up so you're "cured" of the urges.

Chemical castration uses drugs to suppress the libido.

The drugs for doing so at the time were also horrendous so it was absolutely life ruining
