The thing with rumors in regards to the Duggar family, though, is that, often, the rumors come about with little to no actual evidence. And that may also be the case with Josiah. That being said, there is no concrete evidence that Josiah took part in conversion therapy or that he identifies as gay. However, over the years, fan speculation about whether Josiah is gay or bisexual has run rampant, as well as speculation that his parents knew this and acted on it to try and change him. One reason some tend to believe Josiah is gay, or once showed signs of being uninterested in either women or just the gender norms the Duggar family instills in their kids, is the fact that he was sent to International ALERT Academy for an extended period of time when he was younger. It's not uncommon for the Duggars or those of their particular faith to use the academy to keep their sons in line.
