The same crowd that declares healthy, high energy young boys diseased and must be medicated.

Seems like a pretty obvious attack on free speech.

This is unconstitutional beyond belief....at least it is now.
So it will be against the law for straight parents to try and get their kids counseling for confused sexual identity?
Riiiiiiight. And I bet it’ll be considered child abuse too.
White middle class parents will only be affected. Noway these white lefties will mess with a black single mom over this gay kid issue.

gay rights advocates who insist that so-called conversion therapy has no medical basis because homosexuality is not a disorder

The first step is admitting you have a problem.

But the Sandusky method of trying make homos out of the nearest kids is left alone?

I was struck that in relation to the play and movie “Tea and Sympathy”, which is about a college coach’s wife’s attempts at helping a sexually confused male student, lead actress Deborah Kerr received numerous letters from many people having struggled with similar issues. One letter in particular, about the drama’s character, which she kept, stated essentially, “I wish I could have known someone like you in those years. Now it is too late.”

There evidently is a time of confusion for many a potential homosexual when they might have preferred a life of “normalcy” with a spouse and children rather than one of myriad unhappiness no matter how hard they might struggle to put that same stamp on what it can never be.

As I understand it, there is nothing physically dangerous in this therapy, (i.e. there is no wrapping the person up in heavy blankets and beating on them while they recreate being "born"). If people want to take the therapy, let them.

Oh, that's right. The homosexual activists don't want that. They're still trying to convince people it isn't a choice.

Sorry, folks. . .behavior is ALWAYS a choice.

So homepathic “cures” cure, but any approach to helping someone is not a cure if it doesn’t fit your definition of helping, whether it fits that defintition to the person being treated or not - according to Lib thinking.

I don’t believe in 12 step programs. I think they establish permanent dependcy on the program, a programmed dependency, not what I believe is a necesssary one; and necessary or unnecessary it is a legal treatment. I think it’s quackery, but if I were a lawmaker I’d consider it none of my business if people wanted to use it.

The difference; I’m a Conservative and the legislators in California are Libs (mostly) - Nazi-like, bussy-body Libs; going to change the world by chaining everyone to their opinion.

If my son ever tells me he is gay, you better believe I will be doing everything in my power to straighten him out. Luckily, it doesn’t appear that will be a problem.

Do not attempt to interfere with government attempts to manufacture homosexual democrat voters.

Parents of so-called gay children should first look into the mirror before they cart their children off to some sort of therapy that purports to "cure" homosexuality.

IMO, it is major disfunctionality of some sort, or in some cases outright abuse, that causes children to travel down that path.

Going by the comment voting at that link the tide has really turned against the radical homos, six months ago the voting and comments would be overwhelmingly in support of the gays but now it’s the opposite.

More results of the much needed Chick-Fil-A lesson that pierced through the propaganda bubble last month?

If this becomes law, it will prevent therapists and parents who believe that a child could be helped with a disordered sexuality from doing anything that leads in the direction of healing. They would be forced into allowing the gay advocacy groups to take charge and guide the minor into embracing the gay lifestyle. Which is of course the whole point of such legislation. No choice.

So, if a gay gene is proven, will California outlaw abortions?

With progressive leadership like this it won’t be much longer before California is primarily populated with illegals, queers, dope peddlers, arrogant leftist professors and other government employees.

Sensible people do not have to live under the progressives’ Police State Tyranny that forces them to accept sexual perversion as normal and to provide cradle to grave welfare for illegals and moochers.

Yet another reason for normals to abandon the Freak State with alacrity.

Will people like Joseph Nicolosi who has been quite successful with reparative therapy in California now be persecuted?

A male trying to mate with another male’s anal canal is insane. A female trying to mate with another female with a rubber appliance is insane. It’s like Aunt Rosie sitting at your dinner table trying to eat by sticking a spatula in her ear and telling you that’s her lifestyle. It may be, but it’s still insane behavior. California legislators can pass a law outlawing the night, but it’s still going to get dark.

Homosexuality is the only psycho-social or physiological anomaly that we do not try to prevent, treat, or cure.

To act like rejecting one of the core foundations of animals (procreation) is “normal” is a pretty weak argument unless you also like to debate that schizophrenia is also “normal” and should be respected - and NOT treated.

That it effects about the same amount (or less) of our population that have autism should clue the reasonable human into what is actually occurring... An anomaly.

It may be “natural,” but it isn’t “normal.”

You may have been born with it, but it doesn’t mean that you were supposed to be. You’re not evil because you’re gay, but stop trying to argue that it’s as normal as the other 99% of us.

I think of the whole thing like having 6 fingers on one hand: if you’re cool with it that way then that’s fine - go about your life. If you think that you’d like to have 5 fingers, then go see a specialist and make that happen. I don’t care either way.

But don’t try to tell me with a straight face that your 6 fingers are “normal,” ‘cause it ain’t, man.

And if evidence is gathered that having an abortion is bad for the woman's psychological health?

I tell you: the pro-abortion Democrats have all but built a bridge of precedents that the pro-life circuit can walk right over.

Strangely, given the libs' insistence on abortion rights, they don't seem to have a clue as to what they're paving the way towards.
