They were in the closet for good reason. Homosexuality is wicked and perverted, a society that tolerates it will not survive.
That is RAPE.
This ruling OUTLAWS RAPE THERAPY!!!!!
GloboHomos must be resisted by any means available. They are relentless about destroying morality, which is Satan’s work they are doing.
PHOOEY to the governor—and to all “gay” supremacists!!!!
I don’t see how that could get passed the first amendment.
“we just want to love who we love, in the privacy of our own homes,” they said
"No counseling AGAINST queerness: U.S. judge hammers Christian view"

What's worse, people of faith who get harassed in the courts by pro-LGBT government actors, or people of faith who don't know their constitutionally enumerated protections well enough to protect themselves from such harassment?
More specifically, since no LGBT-related terms, eg. gay, homosexual, appear in the Constitution, the politically correct LGBT agenda is actually constitutionally unprotected imo.
So when pro-gay activist judges and state actors abridge 1st Amendment-protected religious expression and free speech against queerness, they are unthinkingly violating Section 1 of the 14th Amendment (14A) that they swore to protect and defend imo.
"Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
"Section 5: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."
Note that 14A protections have relatively recently been upheld in California, although I wouldn't be surprised if California taxpayers ended up paying the settlement.
UC Berkeley settles landmark free speech lawsuit, will pay $70,000 to conservative group (12.4.18)
And while some Christian denominations seemingly wash their hands of government authority because it is "evil," 14A in this example, note that Acts 22:23-29 shows that the Holy Spirit led Apostle Paul to claim his Roman citizenship to get out of a flogging.
People who have taken oath to protect and defend Constitution need to lose their offices under Section 3 of 14A for open rebellion against the Constitution imo, evidenced by the example of this thread.
"14th Amendment, Section 3: No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof [emphases added]. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
Homosexuals need to be back in closet, forcibly so if necessary. They are a great harm to a functional, healthy society.
Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
They support “conversion therapy,” but only one direction.
Also known as “grooming.”
For those who test positive for the gay gene, gene therapy should be provided. Those who do not should get conversion therapy. Follow the science.
Well, thankfully the new “Respect for Marriage Act” will protect everyone’s beliefs. (/s if it’s needed)
The First Amendment will be effectively nullified by then.
I’ve held a theory for a long time that the homosexual agenda is to force God into accepting their behavior. The way about that is to get the government to force it upon the churches.
We need to be clear in our legal representations that secular humanism, in all its forms, is a “belief system” no different than any religion and does not have Constitutional protection to be forced on everyone through policies that discriminate against other belief/value systems.
No one is forced to enter into a “coversion” therapy process, it is a choice someone has to make, and if it is their choice, it must be considered Constitutionally protected.
It wasn’t all that long ago that an open homosexual couldn’t hold public office. Remember when New Jersey Gov. James McGreevey was found to be a homosexual? He was compelled to resign, no argument about it. That was less than 20 years go in 2004.
No known homosexual could serve in the federal government because they were rightfully considered a security risk. Remember Bradley Manning.
He;s a HOMOSEXUAL!
Let me help...
Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."
Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.
Leviticus niv
18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.
20:13 If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable.
They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them;
they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it.
Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.
================================================
2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight.
They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
================================================
Ezekiel 16:49-50 "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom:
She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
They were haughty and did detestable things before me.
Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
But there IS hope!!!
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
A pastoral counselor operates in 2 realms. If in the realm of their Christian faith, then it is a religious counseling that is guided by scripture and doctrine.
For a traditionalist Christian, sexual immorality is an historic Christian issue and much is said about it in scripture and doctrine.
The state has zero authority in such thingd.
