Conservative Christians and the Republican Party have based a major part of their political fund-raising agenda on the notion that homosexuality is only a sinful personal choice that can be corrected with treatment. Advocating so-called conversion therapy is just a way to hammer the idea, "They could change if they really wanted to."
Treating homosexuality as a behavioral choice is a cash cow for conservatives. It helps them fill church pews, sell tickets to events, and finance election campaigns. They'll fight to keep that money stream flowing, which means selling the idea that "those people" can be repaired.
