THIS is how they think...

President Barack Obama, through a statement posted Wednesday night on the White House website by adviser Valerie Jarrett, backed legislation that would ban parents from having their children counseled not to be what Jarrett called "LGBTQ+".
“As part of our dedication to protecting America’s youth, this Administration supports efforts to ban the use of conversion therapy for minors,” Jarrett said in the White House statement.
“Conversion therapy generally refers to any practices by mental health providers that seek to change an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity,” said the statement. “Often, this practice is used on minors, who lack the legal authority to make their own medical and mental health decisions. We share your concern about its potentially devastating effects on the lives of transgender as well as gay, lesbian, bisexual, and queer youth.”
Jarrett conceded in her statement that an act of Congress would be needed to pass a national law that prohibited parents from having their children be counselled to be heterosexual rather than what she called “LGBTQ+."
“While a national ban would require congressional action, we are hopeful that the clarity of the evidence combined with the actions taken by these states will lead to broader action that this Administration would support,” Jarrett said.
She suggested that parents disserve their children when they do not accept them as “LGTQ+.”
“Family relationships are pivotal to the physical and emotional well-being of any child, including LGBTQ+ youth,” she said. “Every child needs love, support, and acceptance to grow, dream, and thrive. LGBTQ+ youth with supportive families and friends show greater well-being, better general health, and significantly decreased risk for suicide, depression, and substance abuse.
“Countless families and guardians across the country proudly support their LGBTQ+ children,” Jarrett said. “Too many LGBTQ+ youth, however, lack this support system, which can have devastating consequences. Negative family reactions to LGBTQ+ youth can be perceived as rejection by children, often contributing to serious health issues and inhibiting a child’s development and well-being. And when it comes to LGBTQ+ youth, some actions by family and caregivers can be harmful, despite even the best intentions.
“This Administration,” she said, “believes that young people should be valued for who they are, no matter what they look like, where they’re from, the gender with which they identify, or who they love.”
Jarrett’s statement was preceded by a quotation from President Barack Obama describing a “young man” who is “wrestling with a secret.”
“Tonight, somewhere in America, a young person, let's say a young man, will struggle to fall to sleep, wrestling alone with a secret he's held as long as he can remember. Soon, perhaps, he will decide it's time to let that secret out. What happens next depends on him, his family, as well as his friends and his teachers and his community. But it also depends on us -- on the kind of society we engender, the kind of future we build.”
Jarrett’s statement was posted in response to a petition posted on the White House website in January that called for a “law to ban all LGBTQ+ conversion therapy." The petition had approximately 120,000 signers.
See you in June, you sultry, sensuous (and yet utterly unavailable) lady. :)
Buy yer dinner fer free n everything... fanciest one we have when we are out... on me.
Does anyone seriously doubt that ValJar has a hand in influencing her boss Dick Tator-In-Chief handing the Iranians the NUKE capability? Seriously????
Strange, or odd looking homosexuals?
(Seriously, I have no idea how they categorize themselves)
LOLZ The next thing you know he’ll command the tide to recede.
Wish I went to the school because I would put up such a fuss about being discriminated against by being straight.
The pedophiles have their guy in the whitehouse.
Next obama will support ending age of consent laws.
Our White House is full of QUEER youth....too stupid to know how mentally deranged and immature they all are.
Valerie Jarrett - there are no words to describe the absolute loathing I have for this enemy within our gates.
On one hand she’s saying “Conversion therapy is used on minors, who lack the legal authority to make their own medical and mental health decisions.”
But then she turns around and says basically these minors, who lack the legal authority to make their own medical and mental health decisions should decide whether they are LGTQ+, in the first place?
And as the out of control elitist government is won’t to do, they are trying to tell us what “family life” is supposed to be, according to their warped, immoral, nonsensical ideologies.
“Family relationships are pivotal to the physical and emotional well-being of any child, UNLESS YOU AREN’T LIVING ACCORDING TO WHAT THE FED GOV DEEMS.”
“THE BIGGEST MINORITY IN THE WORLD across the country proudly support their this sinful, immoral, unnatural behavior.”
“This Administration,” she said, “believes that young people should be valued for who they are, no matter what they look like, where they’re from, the gender with which they identify, or who they love, EXCEPT IF YOU ARE CHRISTIAN, CONSERVATIVE, WHITE AND DON’T AGREE WITH OR BOW DOWN TO THE GOVT.”
Jarrett’s statement was preceded by a quotation from President Barack Obama describing a “young man” who is “wrestling with a secret.”
“Tonight, somewhere in America, a young person, let’s say a young man, will struggle to fall to sleep, wrestling alone with a secret he’s held as long as he can remember.

But it also depends on us — on the kind of society we engender, the kind of future we build.”
Oh Obama...we already know your secret....just come out already.
We should have banned Liberals from being near our children.
President Clinton could have taken on a similar issue. I can imagine the press release:
_______________________________________________________________
President Bill Clinton, through a statement posted Wednesday night on the White House website by adviser John Podesta, backed legislation that would ban married people from having their spouses counseled not to be what Podesta called “horndogs”.
“As part of our dedication to protecting America’s marriages, this Administration supports efforts to ban the use of conversion therapy for adulterers,” John Podesta aid in the White House statement.
“Conversion therapy generally refers to any practices by mental health providers that seek to change an individual’s sexual choices,” said the statement. “Often, this practice is used on spouses, who lack the leverage to make their own romantic decisions without risking divorce. We share your concern about its potentially devastating effects on the lives of philanderers.”
Podesta conceded in his statement that an act of Congress would be needed to pass a national law that prohibited married people from having their spouses be counselled to remain faithful rather than what he called “polyamorous.”
“While a national ban would require congressional action, we are hopeful that the clarity of the evidence combined with the actions taken by these states will lead to broader action that this Administration would support,” Podesta said.
He suggested that married people disserve their spouses when they do not accept them as “unfaithful.”
I think it would do the country much, much more good if we banned the birth of all children who will be counseled to be a Democrat!!!!
Obama and his ilk are going to have some of the hottest parts of the Lake of Fire set aside just for them!! God is not going to take their behavior sitting on His hands. God IS going to handle all judgment. And it WILL BE JUDGMENT TO THE MAX for these people. God has made it PLAIN AND CLEAR since the beginning that homosexuality was wrong and a max sin. He DESTROYED two cities of thousands of people all of whom practiced this abomination. They can think all day long that punishment is not coming, but IT IS!!! The ONLY way to prevent it is on your knees before God and ask for forgiveness!!! Repentance of the sin and abomination. Time is running out fast. The days left for this earth is rapidly running out. The Bible is clear. It gives us clear warning. Clear signs. Those signs are out there now. Time is short.
The fairy boy is obsessed with homosexuals and cross dressers.
He has to be either one or wants to be one.
Never has a President been so obsessed with this and to think of all the problems in the world and this country, this fairy is mouthing off again over this crap.
The man is a complete lunatic.
same here, if any of my kids thought they were the opposite sex I would stop them in their tracks right away and there is nothing you fairy boy or your wife or Valerie, or the corrupt media can do.
Thankfully I raised my kids right and they are all doing well and do speak out to their friends about homosexuals and cross dressing.
It is OK for the Government and the media to try and brainwash our kids though.
what no white normal males and why are they using MSM when all they have to do is to say homosexuals?
This Government is pathetic and has no clue about the dangers of the world.
Hey...if Jeb Bush can be latino....anything is possible. #Justsayin
I don't believe the real Antichrist will be more evil than Obama, but he will be more intelligent and more energetic. The thought of someone as evil as Obama who works harder at it is frightening enough.
This is disturbing not just because of its sanctioning of homosexual behavior, but because of the carte blanche given to anyone deviant, disturbed, or plain obnoxious.
As a recovering “weird girl,” I realized why some behavior is considered offensive in public. (Maybe becoming aware of others was a first step.) While no one should be persecuted, the view that someone wears a halo by virtue of being different is not only silly but dangerous.
